Past Events

Event 1

Music Feeds

Food Forward’s Music Feeds event celebrated the legacy of rock and roll in the fight against hunger. Supporters enjoyed never-before-seen footage from George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh, followed by a conversation hosted by veteran journalist and advocate Rona Elliot featuring icons Jim Keltner, Henry Diltz, and Chip Monck. An auction of rare music memorabilia included pieces signed by Ringo Starr, The Doors’ John Densmore and Robbie Krieger, The Cars, and a one-of-a-kind photograph from that historic night signed by five of the performing artists.

Event 2

Zest Fest Harvest

Hundreds of Food Forward volunteers gathered at a historic LA orchard to harvest surplus citrus and prepare boxes of recovered produce for neighbors in need. In 2025, this fun-filled, powerful day of unity kicked off our push to reach 500 million pounds of rescued produce since our inception in 2009.

Event 3

Spring Melt Fundraiser

Our Spring Melt fundraiser brought together renowned chefs, sponsors, and supporters for an iconic evening of food and cocktails under the Hollywood stars at the historic Charlie Chaplin Soundstage at The Jim Henson Company Lot. This beloved event energizes our mission to fight food insecurity and food waste.
