LA Food Bank

I had the pleasure of volunteering at the LA Food Bank in Vernon last Saturday. It was an action-​packed morning sorting food for kits for food-​insecure people, including seniors and children. The staff at the Food Bank are nice people, but they are also serious about what they’re doing — and that seems right too: feeding people is an important cause in this country and everything any of us can do to make that happen is vital work. I was proud to be there and will gather some friends to go back soon!

Three hours well spent.
Along the long conveyor lines past the apple juice, apple sauce, a can of mixed fruit, veggies and rice — seeing the enthusiasm of each and every volunteer just makes you wanna do more and work faster and harder to complete the task.
Serving the Los Angeles Community since 1973 this amazing organization is like the gift that keeps on giving, through the help of the generous donors and the tireless volunteers, The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is helping to make hunger stop.
I am really glad, my friend invited me to come and become a volunteer, meeting everyone this early on a Saturday full of energy and enthusiasm just reminds me of people’s generosity and kindness not to mention meeting new friends whom like me decided to make their early Saturday morning worthwhile (it may not be intentional but it’s a great early morning workout too!)
I know this won’t be my last volunteering at LA Food Bank, if you have the time and can spare 3 hours of your «sleep in» time, come join everyone and help feed the hungry. You won’t regret it.
It is a very rewarding experience to know that you helped even in the minutest little way.

I was invited to volunteer by my friend Tim C. I jumped on it. I invited my 15 year old son and he said yes. He such a good boy.
Today I worked on the assembly line making food filled kits for needy people, seniors anf families. It was hard work at a fast pace but it was very rewarding. To know that I’m helping people not go without food makes my soul sing.
I watched a video before we started and it made me cry to know that there are children that go to sleep with out eating. It’s not just homeless people that need this food, it’s people like you and me.
I urge anybody with some free time to sign up. Your body may be achy but after your done you have a sense of pride that I can’t explain. Today myself and other volunteers made 3500 kits for 3500 families. That’s 3500 families that are going hungry.
