Taylor's journey has taken him through addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and unimaginable loss. After losing his father, he struggled for years before deciding to seek treatment and begin rebuilding his life.

Along the way, he found employment helping others in his community and
was eventually connected to Food on Foot's Jobs & Housing Program.
Over the past year, Taylor has gained more than practical financial skills. He learned how to budget, build credit, save for the future, and make his money work for him.

Most importantly, he accomplished something he never thought possible.
For the first time in his life, Taylor has his own apartment.

His story reminds us that lasting change begins when people are treated with dignity, offered opportunity, and surrounded by a community that believes in their potential.

Every supporter, volunteer, and donor helps make stories like Taylor's possible.

For years, Rafael struggled with alcoholism and watched his life head in a
direction he never wanted.

Determined to make a change, he left his hometown in search of treatment. Through recovery, 12-step meetings, and steady work, he began building a new foundation.

When Rafael joined Food on Foot's Jobs & Housing Program, he found something that made an immediate impact, a welcoming community that encouraged him to keep moving forward.

Recovery isn't only about overcoming addiction. It's about finding connection, support, and people who believe in your potential. That's the difference Food on Foot strives to make every day.

With the support of donors, volunteers, and community partners, more individuals like Rafael can continue building brighter futures.

For a decade, Skylar struggled with fentanyl addiction. She believed she would either spend the rest of her life chasing her next high or never have the chance to build the future she dreamed of. But recovery requires more than determination—it requires stability.

When Skylar and her best friend moved into their own apartment through Food on Foot's Jobs & Housing Program, everything began to change. With a safe place to call home, she was able to focus on healing, continue her education, learn to budget and save, and build a strong foundation
for her future.

Today, Skylar works in the substance abuse and mental health field, helping people who are facing the same challenges she once experienced. She's also building the life she always hoped for as a mother, a professional, and a person in recovery.

Stories like Skylar's remind us that when people are given the opportunity to rebuild their lives, they often go on to strengthen their communities and inspire others.

Thank you for believing that every person deserves the chance to write a new chapter.

When Rafael made the decision to pursue recovery, he knew he couldn't go back to the environment that had fueled his addiction.
After struggling with alcoholism for more than 10 years, he came to the San Fernando Valley seeking treatment and a fresh start. Staying sober was his priority, but like so many people working hard to rebuild their lives, finding stable housing remained one of his greatest challenges. Even as someone who teaches financial education, Rafael found that the math simply wasn't adding up when it came to housing affordability in Los Angeles. Then he found Food on Foot.

Through the Jobs & Housing Program, Rafael found more than resources. He found community.

One of the first workshops he attended focused on forgiveness and letting go.

The message resonated deeply. "I knew right there I am where I'm supposed to be." As a member of the Go Team, Rafael became actively involved in serving others, building relationships, and giving back to the community that supported him during his recovery journey. Through Sunday Serving and volunteer opportunities, he discovered purpose, connection, and a renewed sense of belonging.

Today, Rafael has achieved a milestone he once thought was out of reach.
He recently secured an ADU in North Hollywood, the exact area where he hoped to stay and continue building his future. For the first time in his life, he signed a lease for a place of his own.

Now, Rafael works at the Center for Living and Learning, helping individuals who are recovering from substance use, reentering society after incarceration, or experiencing homelessness. Every day, he uses his own experiences to help others navigate challenges he understands firsthand.
Looking ahead, Rafael hopes to continue growing professionally, become a Substance Use Disorder Counselor or Peer Support Specialist, relaunch the clothing business he built before addiction took over, and continue finding ways to serve his community.

Stories like Rafael's remind us that homelessness is not a permanent condition. With support, accountability, opportunity, and community, people can rebuild their lives.

At Food on Foot, we believe every person deserves the chance to move from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Rafael's journey is proof that transformation is possible.

This Sunday, 300 neighbors will arrive expecting a hot meal. Right now, we still do not have enough volunteers to serve them.

We need 13 more people to join us this Sunday, August 2.

👉Sign Up: foodonfoot.org/volunteer

Every additional volunteer helps the line move faster, gets food into someone’s hands sooner, and makes the morning feel a little more caring and dignified for people already facing an incredibly difficult day.

It will be hot, but our earlier 11:15 AM check in and updated setup mean more shade and less time serving during the hottest part of the day.

You do not need any special experience. You just need a few hours, a willing heart, and the desire to help someone feel seen and cared for.

Children ages 6 and older are welcome, too.

Sunday is almost here. Can we count on you?

Sign up through the link in our bio.

🚨 We urgently need volunteers this Sunday, August 2.

Right now, only 3 volunteers are signed up, and we still need at least 13 more people to help us serve 300 neighbors experiencing homelessness.

Without enough hands, meals go out more slowly, lines grow longer, and people who may already be hungry, exhausted, or struggling have to wait even longer for a hot meal and a little kindness.

👉Sign Up: foodonfoot.org/volunteer

Yes, it will be hot. But people experiencing homelessness still need to eat, and the heat can make an already difficult day even harder.

That is why your help matters so much. Not despite the heat, but because of it. ❤️

Volunteer check in begins at 11:15 AM, and our new setup offers more shade and less time working during the hottest part of the day.

Children ages 6 and older are welcome, making this a meaningful way for families to spend a Sunday morning serving meals, clothing, and hygiene products together.

Can you be one of the 13 people who steps up?

For Timothy, recovery became about much more than simply staying sober.
He shared that before recovery; addiction often caused him to overlook opportunities for growth.

But through Food on Foot's Jobs & Housing Program, he discovered that healing isn't something he has to do alone. It's about rebuilding his life, developing healthy relationships, and becoming the person he always knew he could be.

His journey is a powerful reminder that lasting change happens when people are surrounded by dignity, respect, compassion, and a community that believes in their potential.

At Food on Foot, every volunteer, every supporter, and every act of kindness helps create an environment where individuals can move beyond homelessness and hardship toward stability, purpose, and hope.

When you support Food on Foot, you're helping make stories like Timothy's possible.

After losing her stability, her support system, and eventually her housing, Sandy found herself facing one of the most difficult chapters of her life. For years she had been proud of maintaining her sobriety while raising her children, but after experiencing personal setbacks, addiction took hold and everything changed.

When Sandy was introduced to Food on Foot, she found more than meals and basic necessities. She found a community that treated her with dignity, consistency, and respect. Through the Jobs & Housing Program, Sandy participated in workshops focused on employment readiness, financial literacy, therapy, and personal development. She rebuilt her confidence, discovered renewed purpose, and connected with others who encouraged her throughout her recovery journey.

Today, Sandy has transitioned from homelessness into her own apartment and works as an Operations Director in the recovery field, helping others overcome challenges similar to those she once faced. She continues to volunteer with Food on Foot every Sunday because she understands how powerful encouragement and community support can be.
Stories like Sandy's demonstrate that homelessness is not the end of someone's story. With the right support, people can move from crisis to stability, from unemployment to meaningful work, and from homelessness to housing.

Food on Foot is committed to helping individuals move from the street to self-sufficiency through employment support, life skills training, mentorship, and housing assistance.
