FROM THE WEBSITE:

What does WSFB do?

Simply put, Westside Food Bank is a community supported
501(c)(3) non-profit organization which collects donated
surplus and salvageable food locally, as well as food purchased
at wholesale, salvage and co-op prices, then distributes this
emergency food to hungry people through more than 65 social
service agencies.

In doing so the food bank solicits, collects, inspects, sorts,
stores, and distributes surplus food donations from all sectors
of the food industry including supermarket warehouses and food
manufacturers, processors, wholesalers, and brokers. The Food
Bank also solicits financial contributions which are used to buy
warehouse equipment and supplies and to support specialized food
programs and wholesale food purchases.

Westside Food Bank is a non-profit organization founded in 1981
as a project of the Westside Ecumenical Council. The Westside
Food Bank's mission is to distribute as much nutritious food as
possible to local food assistance charities, and to reduce food
waste on the Westside. Over the years we have grown to the point
that we now distribute nearly 4 million pounds of food a year to
more than 60 social service agencies, thereby sustaining 80,000
of our most vulnerable neighbors--approximately half of them
children.

In order to supply our member agencies, we acquire food through
a variety of sources, including food industry donations, community
food drives and the purchase of food supplies in bulk at wholesale
prices. In addition, Extra Helpings Westside, our innovative
prepared and perishable food recovery program, collects more than
130,000 pounds of food per month from restaurants, markets,
bakeries, caterers, and farmers' markets and delivers it to our
member agencies.

We Serve

Our member agencies are located throughout the Santa Monica,
West Los Angeles, Venice, Culver City, Inglewood, and West
Hollywood areas of Los Angeles County. Though this is an
affluent area, one out of every ten people who reside here-
-over 100,000 people--live in households with incomes of less
than $15,000 a year. Our food reaches the entire spectrum of
the needy:

Low-income families
Unemployed and underemployed
Seniors
Women and children living in domestic violence shelters
Homeless
Mentally ill
Disabled
People in rehabilitation facilities
Veterans who may face the challenges of readjustment, ill-health
or poverty
Anyone else without access to enough food
