Mission

The mission of the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank is to mobilize resources to fight hunger in our community.

To meet our mission goals we must:

Source and acquire food and other products and distribute to needy people through charitable agencies or directly through programs;

Energize the community to get involved and support hunger relief;

Conduct hunger education and awareness campaigns and advocate for public policies that alleviate hunger.

Our vision is that no one goes hungry in Los Angeles County.

Background

Los Angeles Regional Foodbank is a private, nonprofit, charitable organization that has been serving the disadvantaged of our community since 1973. We are at the heart of a charitable food distribution network that includes over 1,000 charities in Los Angeles County. A voluntary board of directors provides guidance and oversight for Foodbank activities.
