Small Acts, Big Impact: Simple Ways to Support the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank

Hunger touches every corner of Los Angeles County—but so does hope. 

At the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, we believe that when our community comes together, we can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors who may struggle to make ends meet. Whether you have time to spare, food to share, or want to use your voice, you can help in many simple yet profound ways.

Here’s how you can get involved today:

1. Donate What You Can

Every contribution—large or small—helps the LA Regional Food Bank provide nutritious food to children, families, seniors, and individuals across Los Angeles County. Your support fuels our ability to distribute millions of pounds of food each month through a network of partner agencies and direct distributions.

Whether it’s a one-time gift or a recurring donation, your generosity helps nourish our neighbors. Donate today. 

2. Volunteer Your Time

Volunteers are essential to our mission. Whether sorting food at our distribution center or helping at a mobile food pantry, your time directly helps support our neighbors. Bring your friends, family, or coworkers and participate in the hands-on work that powers our programs.

A few hours of your time can help support thousands across LA County.
