Helping Young People Build Brighter Futures

At Hands4Hope LA, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to feel supported, empowered, and prepared for what comes next.

Our programs create spaces where youth can learn, grow, build meaningful relationships, and access the support they need to thrive. But sometimes, making that possible starts with meeting a much more immediate need.

Sometimes, it starts with a meal.

For the teens participating in our programs, food is more than something to eat. Sharing a meal creates consistency, community, and another opportunity for our team to show young people that there are adults who care about them and are invested in their success.

That is why we created Feed-a-Teen.

What Is Feed-a-Teen?

Feed-a-Teen provides regular meals for teens participating in Hands4Hope LA programs at our Van Nuys and North Hollywood locations.

Today, we are working to provide two meals each week for 35 teens. At approximately $10 per meal, it costs about:

$700 each week
$2,800 each month
$33,600 each year

to keep those meals on the table.

It is a simple investment with an immediate impact: your gift helps us show up for young people week after week.

Your Gift. Their Meals.

We want every donor to understand exactly what their support can accomplish.

💸 $20 provides one teen with a week of meals.

💸 $40 provides two weeks of meals.

💸 $80 feeds one teen for an entire month.

💸 $160 feeds two teens for an entire month.

Whether you give $20 or $200, every contribution moves us closer to fully funding meals for all 35 teens in our programs.

Make Your Impact Monthly

Feed-a-Teen is not a one-time need.

Next week, our teens will be back. And we want their meals to be there waiting for them.

That is why monthly recurring gifts are especially powerful.

When you choose to give monthly, you help Hands4Hope LA build a reliable source of support we can count on when planning meals and programming throughout the year.

🙌 $20/month provides a week of meals every month.

🙌 $40/month provides two weeks of meals every month.

🙌 $80/month means one teen's meals are covered month after month.

And a full year at $80/month means one teen's Feed-a-Teen meals are funded for an entire year.

Recurring support gives us something incredibly valuable: the ability to plan ahead rather than wonder where next month's meals will come from.

It Starts With a Meal. It Goes Much Further.

Feed-a-Teen is one part of the work happening every day at Hands4Hope LA.

Our goal is not simply to provide young people with something to eat. It is to build relationships, create opportunities, strengthen communities, and surround young people with the resources and support they need to envision—and pursue—a brighter future.

A meal may be what brings everyone to the table.

What happens around that table can mean so much more.

Your support of Feed-a-Teen helps Hands4Hope LA continue showing up for young people in meaningful, practical ways.

Make a one-time gift today, or become a monthly Feed-a-Teen supporter and make your impact last all year.
