On behalf of Hollywood Food Coalition, thank you for your generous donation. Your contribution allows us to continue providing consistent care and support to the most vulnerable members of our community.

Since 1987, our Community Dinner and Wellness program has served high-quality meals to unhoused and low-income neighbors seven nights per week. In 2025, we served over 96,000 meals for guests visiting from across Los Angeles. Using recovered ingredients to craft wholesome meals, we aim to serve food that nourishes both body and mind, offering our guests a sense of agency and dignity.The trust built by our nightly meal allows us to meet guests' needs beyond food. We connect hundreds of dinner guests with housing, healthcare, and other essential services. Because of your thoughtful donation, our staff has provided warm clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and so many other items. Last year, your generosity allowed us to distribute over 10,000 items and connect over 400 guests with essential services.

The Community Dinner and Wellness program thrives with the support of our Community Exchange, which supplies recovered ingredients used to prepare our nightly meal. The Exchange also distributes food donations within a network of small community-based organizations that has grown to over 240 since 2020. In 2025, the Community Exchange rescued over 3 million pounds of food through our network of over 800 food donors. Last year, thanks to your contributions, we relocated to an expanded warehouse in Glassell Park, where we are recovering and distributing even more food across LA County. Additionally, responding to the urgent needs of fire-affected communities, we hosted over 80 events to expand food access and alleviate the monetary burden faced by fire survivors, serving over 19,000 families in six months.

With the help of your gift, our dedicated staff and volunteers can continue to rescue donated food, prepare healthy meals, and hand out to-go meals with compassion and care.
