LOCATION:First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 18% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nUrban Partners Los Angeles’ “Groceries for our Neighbors”
  food distribution program provides essential weekly groceries to thousand
 s of low-income\, homeless\, and senior members of the community in Los An
 geles. Volunteers make up a large part of the program\, with a small numbe
 r of staff members coming from the community we serve. This initiative has
  been a vital resource for those in need for over 32 years\, and we are co
 mmitted to continuing to support our community through it.\n\nEach week\, 
 approximately 35\,000 people in our community struggle with food insecurit
 y\, and around 10\,000 members may go without meals due to financial const
 raints. Our relief efforts aim to ensure that no one in our community goes
  hungry\, especially vulnerable populations. We are dedicated to securing 
 our food and funding reserves in order to respond effectively to emergenci
 es and handle the ongoing pandemic and its aftermath\, as well as future C
 rises.\n\nWe distribute\, on average\, over 30\,000 pounds of food every S
 aturday. Our goal is to provide enough groceries for a family of four to s
 ustain themselves for one week. Our ability to continue to operate is due 
 in large part to the generous support of businesses and individual donors 
 who believe in our mission to alleviate hunger for struggling Los Angeles 
 families.\n\nIf you would like to join us on the frontlines and help fight
  hunger in our community\, we welcome your assistance at our food bank. We
  operate on Saturdays from 6:00 am to 9:30 am\, rain or shine\, some holid
 ays excluded.\n\nIf you have any questions about volunteering with UPLA\, 
 please contact our volunteer coordinator at urbanpartnerslosangeles@gmail.
 com. We welcome the opportunity to have you join our team and make a posit
 ive impact on the lives of those in need.\n\nVisit our food bank at the Fi
 rst Unitarian Church for assistance with groceries. We recommend bringing 
 a cart when picking up food at our food bank to make it easier to transpor
 t your groceries home.\n\nWHERE: 2936 W. 8th Street\, Los Angeles\n\nWHEN:
  Saturdays\, 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. (some holidays excluded)
