The mission of the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank is to mobilize resources to fight hunger in our community.

To fulfill our mission we:

• Source and acquire food and other products and distribute to needy people through charitable agencies or directly through programs;

• Energize the community to get involved and support hunger relief;

• Conduct hunger education and awareness campaigns and advocate for public policies that alleviate hunger.

Our vision is that no one goes hungry in Los Angeles County.
