Every day, countless individuals and families across Los Angeles County turn to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and our partner agency network for nutritious food and essential support. Behind every box of grocery essentials and every distribution is a network of dedicated volunteers who make this work possible. In 2025, more than 36,000 volunteers donated over 239,000 hours, helping on-site at the Food Bank and at food distribution sites.

Companies often volunteer together as a way to build teamwork while giving back, turning a few hours of service into a meaningful shared experience. Working side by side fosters connection and a sense of purpose, especially during times when many in our community are facing challenges.
