LOS ANGELES, CA — November 4, 2026 — The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and the Los Angeles Rams once again joined forces for the 11th Annual Taste of the Rams, welcoming approximately 500 guests and raising $270,000 to support hunger relief efforts throughout Los Angeles County.

Over the past 11 years, Taste of the Rams has become a signature fundraising event supporting the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank’s mission to fight hunger. Since its inception, the event has raised approximately $1.7 million, helping provide the equivalent of 6.8 million meals to neighbors experiencing food insecurity across Los Angeles County.

The annual fundraising event brought together community leaders, Rams players, celebrated chefs, and supporters for an evening dedicated to fighting food insecurity. Proceeds will help the Food Bank and its network of more than 600 partner agencies continue providing nutritious food to families and individuals experiencing food insecurity across the County.

Held at the Gallagher Garden at SoFi Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Rams, the event highlighted the power of community partnerships in addressing hunger. This year’s celebration was made possible through the generous support of presenting sponsors Bank of America, Crum & Forster, and Don Lee Farms.
