ABOUT HOLLYWOOD FOOD COALITION

Hollywood Food Coalition has provided hunger relief to unhoused and food-insecure neighbors through hot, healthy meals served every single night of the year, without fail, since 1987. Since then, we have grown into a thriving meal service and food rescue operation providing meals and other basic necessities to food-insecure Angelenos, according to HoFoCo’s ethos of Responsiveness, Consistency, Choice and Community.

Our Community Dinner strives to create a welcoming and dignified experience that allows us to build trusting relationships with guests. Leveraging this trust, our Community Wellness program identifies barriers to meeting their additional health and housing needs and collaborates with other nonprofits to more effectively provide services including regular on-site healthcare, vision care, housing navigation, ID document recovery, and hygiene services for our dinner guests.

Thanks to a two-year grant from UniHealth Foundation, in December 2022 we were able to hire our first-ever, full-time Community Wellness Program Manager, who is building our capacity to further meet the needs of guests and build collaborations with other social service providers. Now leading our Community Conversations initiative, our Wellness Program Manager has in-depth conversations with dinner guests to learn about their health and housing needs. Based on these conversations, we make concierge referrals to other service providers and advocate for program participants as they navigate these complex processes.

Our Community Exchange, born in May 2020, is a concierge food service that provides small to medium-sized nonprofits with the food they need when they need it, so they can focus on their missions. We’re revamping the current food bank model to help nonprofits build meal programs. We take great care in learning about each organization’s programs and the communities they serve and then set up a personalized plan. To date, we've rescued more than 5 million pounds of food, averaging over 41,000 lbs per week, served more than 140 non-profit partners, and have more than 360 business donors, from restaurants and local businesses to corporations and wholesalers.

* Your contribution is tax-deductible. The fair market value of each ticket is $35, and only the portion of your donation that exceeds this fair market value may be deducted. Hollywood Food Coalition is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code; (EIN 46-4079214).
