Notes

Los Angeles Regional Foodbank is a nonprofit charitable organization that has been serving the disadvantaged of our community for 35 years. We are at the heart of a charitable food distribution network that includes nearly 900 charitable agency sites in Los Angeles County. A voluntary board of directors provides guidance and oversight for Foodbank activities.

The Los Angeles Regional Foodbank is a partner with Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest) Feeding America is the nation's largest non-governmental, domestic hunger relief organization. As a partner, we follow the guidelines put forth by the network and are subject to monitoring. Los Angeles Regional Foodbank upholds the highest standards of charitable food distribution. We are also connected to and cooperate with food banks throughout the country.

Los Angeles Regional Foodbank is the only Feeding America affliated food bank in Los Angeles County.

From Warehouse to Table
Food is donated to Los Angeles Regional Foodbank from local and national food manufacturers, wholesalers, supermarkets, restaurant suppliers, packers, processors and brokers. Once a shipment of food is received at our warehouse, it is sorted, inspected, and if necessary, repacked for distribution to participating charities in Los Angeles County.

We sort, inspect, repackage and distribute thousands of pounds of food each day with the help of dedicated volunteers. Last year, 13,000 volunteers contributed over 60,000 hours of service.

Charities order and pick up the products they need from the Foodbank on a weekly basis. They then serve the food to needy families, children and individuals free of charge. Through these charities, over 674,000 people receive healthy meals each year.

Volunteer:

Without volunteers, the Foodbank would not be able to provide food for thousands of hungry people every week. Get together with a social, church or work group and spend a day with us.

To learn more about becoming a Foodbank volunteer, contact our volunteer coordinator at (323) 234-3030, extension 144 or amartinez@lafoodbank.org.
