Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
AMFB IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER TEAM OF COMMUNITY LEADERS AND RESIDENTS
Pastor Kathy Huck – Founder/CEO
Pastor Kathy brings a wealth of experience and expertise from her collaboration with Ken Craft, CEO of Hope The Mission. Although technically retired, she dedicates her time to organizing the distribution of essential items—such as food, hygiene kits, and other supplies—to individuals experiencing homelessness. Alongside her dedicated teams, she regularly visits residents living in encampments, vehicles, and RVs to provide support and compassion.
Kathy collaborates closely with local leaders and organizations to ensure that assistance effectively reaches those in need. She is committed to providing high-quality essentials to our unhoused neighbors, treating them with the dignity and respect she believes everyone deserves. Moreover, she advocates for empowering individuals facing homelessness by giving them a voice in decision-making processes, ensuring they have representation in shaping the support they receive.
In her mission to serve the unhoused residents of the West San Fernando Valley, Pastor Kathy exemplifies compassion and inclusivity, recognizing the importance of supporting all community members, regardless of their backgrounds. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, she brings a unique perspective and deep empathy to her initiatives aimed at assisting those experiencing homelessness.
