 Food on Foot is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax-ID#31-1581053) dedicated to providing the poor and homeless of Los Angeles with nutritious meals, clothing, and assistance in the transition to employment and life off the streets. Food on Foot operates a weekly meal program every Sunday in Hollywood. Food on Foot began in March 1996 as one man's response to the hunger he witnessed among the poor and homeless of Hollywood. What initially began as the distribution of meals from the trunk of a car has grown through the dedication of its volunteers and now serves more than 250 meals each week to homeless, disabled, elderly and low-income adults and children. more about us »
Volunteer of the Week Kimberly Larkins - $84 Club Member - 03/07/2010I am impressed with Food on Foot and I appreciate the opportunity to support their important work. To hear the stories of those in the program and the program graduates is inspiring. I particularly like how the program offers an opportunity for individuals to be rewarded for hard work as well as for their consistency. Over time the program helps individuals restore their confidence and assimilate into society. It is one thing to hear that there are 60,000 homeless in LA, it is another to look into their eyes and receive their smiles. In this city of so much it’s hard to imagine that some have so little. It reminds me to look inside and see the many blessings I have and that nothing should be taken for granted.-Kim How Can I Help Food on Foot?Donate - Send a check or make a online donation. 100% of your donation goes toward the purchase of much needed food and is a tax-deductible contribution!
