Raymond Philips is a U.S. Army retired veteran and longtime Covina business owner who has always believed that service does not end when the uniform comes off. Growing a business in Covina opened his eyes to how many neighbors were quietly facing empty cupboards. That reality, paired with his belief that if we can help, we must act, became the spark for Milestone Pantry.

Raymond brings structure, clear communication, and deep respect for people's dignity into every part of our work. He leads by example, showing up, listening first, and treating every family, volunteer, and donor like a partner in a shared mission.

Under his guidance, we keep our focus close to home and our standards high, so Covina families can count on steady, accountable support when it matters most.
