Since 1973, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank has distributed more than 1.9 billion pounds of food.
The Food Bank collects food from hundreds of resources. With the help of hundreds of thousands of volunteers annually and an agency network of more than 600 partner agencies, we serve more than 900,000 people on a monthly basis.
Community support enables the Food Bank to serve hundreds of thousands of individuals every month. Approximately one-quarter of our food goes to children, and roughly one-fifth ends up in the hands of older adults. It is estimated that only 10% of our food goes to the homeless, but this is an important population for us. The majority of our food goes to low-income families and individuals who sometimes struggle to make ends meet in this expensive location that we all call home.
