Food on Foot

Food on Foot Every Sunday, Food on Foot also distributes nutritious meals and clean donated clothing to 250+ unhoused and low-income people in Hollywood.

Food on Foot is a nonprofit dedicated to assisting our unhoused and low-income neighbors in Los Angeles with nutritious meals, clothing, and a fresh start through life-skills training, full-time employment, and permanent housing. Since March of 1996, Food on Foot has operated as a volunteer-based, non-profit organization providing our unhoused neighbors in Los Angeles with nutritious meals and a pathway towards self-sufficiency. Graduates from the Jobs & Housing program earn their way off the streets with a full-time job, a fully furnished apartment, life-skills training, and the confidence needed to make their accomplishments long-lasting.

For Jessica, having a place to call home meant finally having somewhere she could feel safe. 🏠💙

Originally from Ventura, Jessica came to rehab in Culver City determined to begin her recovery and get off the streets. Her journey wasn't easy. She also experienced a devastating personal loss after traveling to Washington State to help a friend who was experiencing serious health issues.

But Jessica kept moving forward.

After learning about Food on Foot from a friend, she became a Go Team Member and discovered that rebuilding her own life could happen while helping others.

“It felt good to be able to help people who are struggling like I was and also to help myself get out of my situation.”

Jessica enjoyed getting to know her peers and working together as a team. She also connected with workshops such as Tai Chi and sound baths, which she says supported her mental wellness and self-healing.

Then came the moment she'd been working toward: receiving the keys to her own apartment. 🔑

Those keys gave Jessica something she had been missing—a safe space of her own.

Today, Jessica works as an Admissions Specialist for an organization providing mental health services. And she's thinking beyond where she is today: within the next year, she hopes to begin working toward a career in psychology.

Jessica's journey has taken her from needing help herself to working in a field where she can help others.

That's the ripple effect your support can help create.

When people have access to stability, community, and opportunities to move forward, a new home can become the foundation for an entirely new chapter.

“When I got my keys, I cried.” — Martin

Those six words capture just how much having a place to call home can mean. 🏠💙

Originally from Haiti, Martin experienced homelessness after losing his housing earlier this year. He eventually learned about Food on Foot through another program graduate, and began his journey as a Go Team Member.

Martin admits the experience wasn't always easy. In the beginning, learning new responsibilities and figuring out what was expected of him could feel intimidating.

But he kept showing up.

Working alongside different people each week helped Martin strengthen his personal and professional skills while developing a greater sense of community. He also found opportunities to learn about different paths toward success through Food on Foot's workshops.

Then came an unforgettable milestone: Martin received the keys to his own apartment. Those keys represented stability, accomplishment, and another opportunity to build the life he wants for himself.

Today, Martin works as a Credible Messenger with Amity Foundation and is in the process of renewing his massage therapy license. He says his professional training has helped him flourish, and he's already looking toward an even bigger goal.

A year from now, Martin hopes to be working toward putting a house on his own land.

From homelessness, to apartment keys, to dreaming of homeownership—that's the kind of forward momentum an opportunity can help unlock.

When you support Food on Foot, you're helping people like Martin gain more than housing. You're helping create pathways toward stability, professional growth, independence, and bigger dreams for the future.

“I finally had a home to go to, someplace that I could be myself and rest.” — Jorge

After struggling with addiction and choices that eventually led to homelessness, Jorge knew he needed an opportunity to move his life in a different direction.

That opportunity brought him to Food on Foot.

As a Go Team Member, Jorge learned about teamwork, responsibility, and completing time-sensitive tasks. Food on Foot’s workshops also provided practical knowledge he could carry into everyday life. One that especially stood out to him focused on taxes—helping him better understand the process and where to find resources when he needed assistance.

But one of the most meaningful changes was finally having a place to call home. 🏠🔑

For Jorge, housing meant having somewhere he could feel safe, be himself, and rest.

Today, he’s using the stability he worked for to keep moving forward—and to help others do the same.

Jorge now works in gang intervention with Community Warriors 4 Peace, mentoring young people and connecting community members with resources. He’s also attending Mission College, where he is studying English and sociology, with plans to continue learning, saving, and growing personally and professionally.

And Jorge recently reached another milestone: becoming a CREW Member at Food on Foot.

His journey has taken him from experiencing homelessness to having his own home, pursuing an education, building a career he cares about, and giving back to his community.

That’s the kind of lasting change your support can help create.
Sometimes helping one person rebuild their life means empowering that person to turn around and help many more.

For nearly 20 years, Karl battled substance abuse—a journey that led to homelessness, incarceration, the loss of family and, in his words, the loss of himself.

But Karl was determined to make his recovery mean something different this time.

After joining Food on Foot’s Jobs & Housing Program, he committed himself to building a more stable future, even when showing up wasn’t easy. Karl worked overnight on Saturdays, got off at 6:30 Sunday morning, slept for about an hour and a half in his car, and still showed up to participate.

That determination paid off.

Today, Karl has the keys to his own apartment. 🔑 He works as a behavioral/support technician at a treatment center, renewed his RADT credential, received a raise at work, and is now looking toward his next goal: going back to school to study substance abuse counseling.

Karl didn’t stop believing in what his life could become, and a community of supporters helped make sure he didn’t have to rebuild it alone.

When you support Food on Foot, you help create opportunities for people like Karl to turn hard work into housing, stability, and a future filled with possibility.
