Introducing The Faces of Food Forward

Our work is only possible due to the people who contribute to our mission. We are thrilled to be featuring ten of these stories in a series called The Faces of Food Forward throughout the year. See the stories

YOU are Food Forward.

FOOD FORWARD IS A VITAL PARTNER FOR THE LOS ANGELES NEIGHBORHOOD LAND TRUST, WHICH HAS BEEN HELPING TO DELIVER HEALTHY PRODUCE INTO THE HANDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO FRESH AND HEALTHY FOOD.

MY FAVORITE THING THAT HAPPENS IS SEEING HOW EAGER THE VOLUNTEERS ARE AND HOW THEY START OFF AS STRANGERS BUT THEN COME TOGETHER TO GET THE JOB DONE.

IT’S VERY SATISFYING TO WALK UP TO A TREE FULL OF FRUIT THAT WOULD NORMALLY GO TO WASTE AND WALK AWAY FROM IT WITH FULL BOXES THAT WILL GO A LOCAL ORGANIZATION.

VOLUNTEER LEADER, FOOD FORWARD BACKYARD HARVEST PROGRAM

We want to hear from our family about why you are involved in our work. Email media@foodforward.org to share a memorable moment or why you contribute to fighting hunger and food waste with us.
