Foodies and Finance Spotlight: LA Regional Food Bank, DTLA
While we take the month of October to talk about the importance of preparing and saving for retirement, it’s equally important to recognize that many Angelenos we share our city with do not have financial resources to feed themselves or their family - much less save money for retirement. With our “Foodies and Finance” theme for National Retirement Security Month 2022, the DCP is bringing forward a “spotlight” series highlighting LA-based food banks we all can get involved with.
LA Regional Food Bank, DTLA
Since 1973, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank has worked to mobilize resources in the community to alleviate hunger. To fulfill their mission, they 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. The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank distributes 60 million pounds of food and product annually through a network of over 670 charitable agencies with more than 1,050 sites.
