As Thanksgiving approaches, we are honored to gather in the spirit of compassion, connection, and gratitude. We will welcome 300 of our neighbors to our seated Annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner, a day filled with dignity, joy, and the reminder that no one in our community is alone.

Change Starts At The Table

In a city with more than enough food, too many people still go without. At Hollywood Food Coalition, we believe that food is the start, but community is the result.

While Thanksgiving is a special occasion, it also reflects the heart of what we do every single day: serving wholesome meals, rescuing food, supporting our partners, and building a city where everyone has access to nourishment, community, and care. Every meal we serve, every pound of food we rescue, every resource we share is part of something bigger: a belief in one community – that lasting change happens when neighbors, partners, and allies come together.

Because meaningful change doesn’t happen alone. It starts at the table—when people come together, share a meal, and see each other as neighbors.

ABOUT HOLLYWOOD FOOD COALITION

Hollywood Food Coalition is an organization dedicated to nourishing the community by rescuing and distributing food, preparing nightly meals, and uniting efforts to achieve food equity.

We work to end food insecurity and build a stronger, more connected Los Angeles through food, care, and collective action. Our Exchange rescues high-quality food and redistributes it daily to small nonprofits across the city, expanding access, reducing waste, and supporting communities too often left out of traditional food systems. At our nightly Dinner, we serve nourishing, chef-prepared meals 365 days of the year, offering not just sustenance but consistency, dignity, and human connection for those experiencing hunger or hardship. Here, our Wellness team connects guests with essential services like healthcare, hygiene, and housing, while we advocate for a stronger, more equitable safety net that reaches everyone.
