On June 30, AREAA Greater Los Angeles had the privilege of volunteering at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, serving alongside an incredible group of members committed to making a difference in our community.

Together, our volunteers sorted an amazing 16,459 pounds of fresh produce, including potatoes, onions, and apples, helping ensure nutritious food reaches families throughout Los Angeles.

The need is real. Today, 1 in 4 people in Los Angeles experiences hunger. Every hour volunteered and every pound of produce sorted helps provide hope and support to those who need it most.

Thank you to everyone who showed up to serve. Your time, compassion, and willingness to give back are what make our community stronger. We look forward to many more opportunities to make an impact together. ❤️
