Honor a special occasion, pay tribute to friends and family, or honor the memory of a loved one while providing the needed support to eliminate hunger in our community.
Use the occasion of a birthday, anniversary, or marriage to share your compassion for the food insecure in our community. Celebrate Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Weddings or Graduations with a contribution to honor those individuals we cherish in our lives. There are so many occasions and opportunities to make a Tribute Gift to the Foodbank.
The passing of a loved one is always a difficult time. Consider honoring their memory through a memorial gift to the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank.
Your Memorial or Tribute gift to the Foodbank is tax deductible and helps us provide desperately needed food to the most vulnerable members of our community: children, families, and seniors. Every gift is acknowledged promptly both to the donor and to the designee of the gift, without any mention of the size of the gift.
