Before the pandemic, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank helped to serve roughly 300,000 each month, and on average, one million pounds of food moved through our warehouses each month. In the post-COVID-19 world, and as of March 2022, we reach 800,000 people each month, and roughly four million pounds of food move through our warehouses each week.
On our Food Bank Tour (which may be a virtual tour amid the pandemic), you will see our storage facility, pickup operation and learn more about food rescue in general.
You will also learn how the Food Bank takes inedible food and prevents it from being wasted in landfills by making it available for animal feed or biodiesel fuel.
