Westside Food Bank  

Meals and nutrition for low-income people on the westside.
Westside Food Bank provides food to social service agencies on the Westside of Los Angeles County. It is an independent, non-governmental, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 1981. Our food often enables low-income people to stay in their homes, deterring the problem of homelessness, because it saves them from having to make the agonizing choice between paying for rent or food when they can’t afford both. Receiving our food also enables our 70 member-agencies to devote more of their own resources to other ways of helping clients achieve self respect and economic independence.
