Why are we doing this?

The City of Los Angeles currently has 44,359 people experiencing houselessness. We see caring for the most vulnerable among us as "The People's Work and not something to outsource only to government agencies. We realize food that would otherwise be discarded- meals that restaurants make in anticipation of customers, or produce that is bruised or too small or big- is everywhere. And this is among us as we working in cooperation with other providers and local non-profits.

There is enough for everyone if we make the effort to find, recover, cook, and share.
