Food Forward is a volunteer powered grassroots group of Angelenos who care about reconnecting to our food system and making change around urban hunger.
HARVEST FOOD • FIGHT HUNGER • BUILD COMMUNITYWe convene at properties we have been invited to and harvest their excess fruits and vegetables, donating 100% to local food pantries across southern California. Combined, our numerous distribution partners provide food to over 40,000 clients a month across Southern California. Since forming in 2009, we have harvested hundreds of properties with 100% of what we pick going to feed the hungry. To see our total harvested poundage to date, see the counter on the home page!

Your team rocks!
Jack was so helpful as team leader. Lara and Jack both spoke highly of Food Forward because it is so organized.
It was such a pleasure to hear the feedback from Food Not Bombs contact. He really appreciates this being streamlined through Food Forward.
It was really great to see how the produce boxes were distributed with care and detail, tailored to the specific needs and quantities for each group picking up. When the pick ups happened, the drivers were very happy that they did not need to wait for their boxes to be weighed in, but rather just loaded them up and were on their way."
