The LA Chapter is partnering with the Los Angeles Foodbank and we're looking for Alumni, family and friends to volunteer for a community service project on Saturday, June 26, 2010.

Our volunteers will join other volunteer groups on a Saturday morning project in sorting, cleaning and repackaging food donations.  250 volunteers are expected in total.  Food is donated to the Foodbank from local and national food manufacturers, wholesalers, supermarkets, restaurant suppliers, packers, processors and brokers. Once a shipment of food is received at the warehouse, it is sorted, inspected, and if necessary, repacked for distribution to participating charities in the Los Angeles County.  

The year 2010 marks the Foodbank's 37th year of service to the residents of Los Angeles County. Over the years, the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank has grown in size, service and scope. Today the Foodbank provides food for nearly 900 member agency sites including abused and abandoned children homes, battered women shelters, senior centers, local food pantries, soup kitchens, AIDS hospices and more. In 2009, the Foodbank was able to distribute 54 million pounds of food for the hungry in Los Angeles county.

Please sign up as soon as possible so we can give our numbers to the Foodbank.  All volunteers will be contacted prior to the event with confirmation and driving directions.   The need to feed those that are hungry continues to grow, and without concerned citizens like you many families would go hungry. We look forward to working with you.
