Brawley’s Feed the Need is feeding the community

BRAWLEY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - A global pandemic did not stop Brawley’s Feed the Need from providing meals from helping people experiencing homelessness. 

Rosalind Servin founded Brawley’s feed the need five years ago and has been providing meals ever since. 

They make to-go lunches and and anyone can grab one no questions asked. 

When the pandemic hit Rosalind knew it meant they would have to adjust but their mission has continued and expanded. 

“As you start meeting people and start building relationships with people and start seeing the needs that they have you just start trying to figure out how can I help this person or this group of people, how can I help these people better and so in that came those dreams of it would be great too if we allowed them to take a shower," said Rosalind Servin, Founder.

For her Office Manager who she also refers to as her right hand the work she does here is very personal. 

“In my addiction, I wish there was something like this that I could’ve gone to, that I could’ve gone to someone and said could you pray for me? We don’t ask someone what is it? or any specifics. If they say they need prayer we just pray for them. And I wish there was something like this in the depths of my addiction,” MaryAnne Isaac.

Helping the community has also become a family affair Rosalind’s daughter is a regular volunteer. 

Sometimes I just think like why am I helping people like why am I doing these things and for a second I just think and I just find out that I love everybody, said Mikah.

Brawley's Feed the Need is currently allowing volunteers they're also accepting donations. Hygiene products are in high demand.

Gianella Ghiglino

Peruvian-born and LA raised Gianella Ghiglino joins the team from the San Fernando valley. “LA is the place that taught me how to breath and Peru is my breath.” She says she was inspired by the community she grew up in and began documenting her experience through poetry at the age of 7. “I wrote about everything I saw, felt and everything that inspired me.” When she entered High School she joined her school news station and realized that broadcast journalism allowed her to pursue her passion and her purpose all at once. Gianella attended Cal State Northridge and received a Bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Spanish Broadcast Journalism, and Political Science. She did several internships while in College but most notably interned for PBS’s local LA station for three years. “My purpose is to share my story and of those in my community, my passion is writing.”
