Learn more about the food insecurity crisis in L.A. through educational guest speakers. How did it happen? What isn't working? And What is working?
IMPACT: During the COVID-19 crisis, rates of food insecurity, employment income loss, and housing non-payments have been high. Feeding America projects that 42 million people, including 13 million children, are experiencing food insecurity through the year 2021. Many people who have been most impacted by the pandemic were food insecure or at risk of food insecurity before COVID-19 and are facing greater hardship since COVID-19. Join us and be part of the change by helping us fight food insecurity!
ABOUT THE VIRTUAL EVENT: In this virtual volunteer opportunity, you'll purchase food items in order to assemble a minumum of ten sandwich sack lunches. You'll meet virtually with other sack lunch assemblers in a Zoom meeting where we will have special guests that will demo their faviorte sandwich making skills! You will also learn more about Midnight Mission, Hollywood Food Coalition, and food insecurity in LA as you pack these lunches. You'll then deliver the sack lunches to one of the partner sites, who will in turn put them in the hands that need them most in our community.
