Food on Foot is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the poor and homeless of Los Angeles with nutritious meals, clothing, and assistance in the transition to employment and life off the streets.
01/07 - We have many volunteer opportunities available in January. We have a very unique model where the homeless collect trash to earn their food each week. Many have graduated our program and now have full time jobs that enable them to pay for their housing and leave all government assistance. We have helped turn tax burdens into tax payers for the last 15 years. Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!
We need volunteers in January
Congratulations to the graduates of the Work for Food program.
Lee D. has a full time job at the Tender Greens Restaurant in Santa Monica. He has his own apartment in Hollywood and is completely self-supporting and off all government assistance. He joins the growing list of WFF graduates now giving back to their community, and we invite you to meet him at an upcoming Sunday serving. We are so proud of our Work for Food program that turns tax burdens into tax payers.
Each Sunday afternoon 40-50 homeless and poor individuals participate in our trash clean up program. This is the first step in their attempt to increase confidence and ultimately obtain a full time job and housing. We are proud that so many have graduated our program and are now completely self-supporting and off all government assistance.
"I think FOF is an amazing organization that is self-supporting and far-reaching. I admire the goal of helping people gain the confidence and the courage to help themselves. I think the psychological support services and the requirement for “random acts of kindness” by the participants are essential pieces to the puzzle of success. I am awed by the courage of the people who have graduated from the program and continue to support it by showing up and speaking to large groups of volunteers. I am inspired by their gratitude, strength and humility. They are an inspiration to me and can serve as models for all of us".
