La Habra's food assistance centers on two Hillcrest-area institutions: the city-connected Community Resources Care Center on Hillcrest Street, with weekday and Saturday distribution windows, and the Gary Center — now operated by Vista Community Clinic — which pairs Friday food distribution with health services. Both sit inside Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County's network.
