Continuing our essential food assistance programs, made even more critical in the aftermath of COVID-19 and amid inflation, which put extra pressure on everyone, especially disadvantaged communities throughout LA County.
Areas of Funding
Fundraising Events
The “Taste of the Rams” is a joint venture between the Food Bank, the Los Angeles Rams and the LA Chef community. The Annual “Season for Sharing” event is held each year to highlight those friends who have made a significant contribution to fighting hunger in our community.
Other third-party events and co-ventures include the “Feed SoCal” campaign with Albertsons and ABC7, the “Help for the Hungry” campaign with Ralph’s/Food 4 Less and NBC4.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are critical to the Food Bank. Tens of thousands of people volunteer to glean, package and provide food for our neighbors in need. The Food Bank provides volunteer events and opportunities for individuals, corporations and organizations. In recent years, the Food Bank has hosted special volunteer days with many corporate partners and VIPs.
