The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank has launched a new initiative to employ workers who have been laid off from restaurants due to the pandemic.

The new initiative will provide up to 40 people with temporary work at the food bank to help them through the pandemic crisis. Workers will be primarily assembling food boxes of shelf-stable and fresh produce items at one of the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank’s distribution centers in South Los Angeles or the city of Industry.  

Restaurants and workers interested in joining the program can call Ana Martinez at (323)234-3030 ext. 144, or email martinez@lafoodbank.org.
