Opportunity Details
Food Bank: Lincoln Heights Los Angeles
OVERVIEW
Pack food Thursday's from 3-6 PM for the L.A. Boys & Girls Club community food bank!
MISSION
Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club's mission is to enable and inspire youth, especially young people who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible members of the community.
IMPACT
The community served has a disproportionately high number of families with children living in poverty. There is also a large community of seniors with no support systems such as social security to depend on and who come weekly for assistance with food from our food bank.
The Club picks up food from LA Regional Food Bank, brings the food to the Club, and packs the food to distribute each Thursday. We work hard to bring a variety of items including fresh produce, meat/poultry/proteins, dried goods, and some canned items.
The Boys & Girls Club receives no government or foundation funding to support our food bank. We depend on volunteers to assist in the process in order to keep the program going for members of the community.
VOLUNTEER ROLES & RESPONSIBILITY- Available Thursdays from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
- Pack dried and hot goods into boxes

- Approx 150-200 people come to the Club each week for help with food.

- The Club is located in Lincoln Heights, a community in Northeast Los Angeles.
