 Food on Foot is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax-ID#31-1581053) 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. Food on Foot operates a weekly meal program every Sunday in Hollywood. Food on Foot began in March 1996 as one man's response to the hunger he witnessed among the poor and homeless of Hollywood. What initially began as the distribution of meals from the trunk of a car has grown through the dedication of its volunteers and now serves more than 250 meals each week to homeless, disabled, elderly and low-income adults and children. more about us »
Volunteer of the Week Ram Kadiyala - $84 Club Member - 08/29/2010FOF is a fix for homelessness. Its not just distributing food and clothes to people in need but also provides an opportunity to gain the confidence and necessary resources to become a self sustaining individual in the society.I believe the working model/principle on which FOF is built. It requires the individuals involved to feel accountability, responsibility, respect and hard work to become a self sustaining individual. The execution of the program is so practical and simple. I like the brutal commitment and honesty of the organizers. The fact that FOF is operating without government's aid is amazing and it shows the commitment of the organizers towards the cause they believe in.Each and every feeding I attended is so special and inspiring. The way people like Paul, Deborah, Rebel Stevens transitioned from homelessness is truly inspiring .

Pick a Sunday that is convenient and spend 90 minutes with us participating in our food serving and work for food award ceremony. 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.
