WAYS TO GIVE
Project Angel Food is a community-funded organization. We depend on the generosity of our neighbors, local businesses, corporations, and foundations for the funds to keep our doors open, our pots bubbling, and our vans on the road. In 2019, individual donors like you contributed 36% of our total revenue. Your donations, in any amount, make it possible for us to prepare and deliver healthy meals to feed people impacted by serious illness.

Nearly all of our clients (98%) live at or below the federal poverty level and after paying for rent and medical expenses associated with their one or more serious illnesses, they are often left with little or no income for holiday gifts for children and grandchildren. You can bring joy to these underserved families by donating new toys, books, DVDs, CDs, gift cards, stuffed animals, and tickets to movies, theme parks, or educational experiences like the California Science Center or Aquarium of the Pacific. In 2019, we delivered holiday gift bags to 220 children ages 1 – 17. To donate to the Holiday Gift Program, please contact Client Services at (323) 845-1810.
