Food on Foot Service Project

Food On Foot

"It’s a grass roots organization addressing the needs of the unhoused in Hollywood. With a program that addresses each participant's individual needs through a series of life-skill programs and hard work, Food on Foot guides them back from being unhoused into being integrated members of our community.  The success rate of Food on Foot’s program (where participants retain full-time employment and permanent housing) is an astonishing 87%.

"The first point of contact between Food on Foot and the local community is the weekly Sunday Serving, where we feed 250-300 of our unhoused and hungry neighbors from food donated by local organizations and groups, distributed by volunteers in Hollywood."

Steve is sponsoring a Sunday Serving on Sunday, October 8 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. and asked if our club would be interested in joining. Given the projects that we've done so far this Rotary year aimed at food insecurity, I thought it would be interesting (and even fun) to see how another grassroots organization is working to help the unhoused community right in our neighborhood. I'll be there and hope that we can field five or six Wilshire Rotarians to work and observe. The event will be held in the parking lot behind the Gay And Lesbian Center at 1625 North Schrader Boulevard in Hollywood (where free parking is provided).
