The $60,000 will allow the Food Bank and our partners to continue providing nutritious meals and essential resources to those facing food insecurity. Each dollar donated to the LA Regional Food Bank helps provide healthy meals to those in need. With this grant, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of the estimated two million food-insecure individuals, families, children and older adults of LA County.

The partnership between the LA Regional Food Bank and Raytheon, an RTX business, is a testament to the power of collaboration in addressing the growing problem of food insecurity in LA County. 

Additionally, RTX provided $102,679 to the LA Regional Food Bank through the expansion of its commitment and $3 million investment to Feeding America’s Equitable Food Access and Military Hunger Advocacy initiatives, supporting the communities most in need, including military families. The funding was distributed to select food banks across the U.S. and the funding amount for each food bank was based on need.
