Some of Our Generous Partners

The Community Exchange is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing GHG emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities. The Cap-and-Trade program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution. California Climate Investments projects include affordable housing, renewable energy, public transportation, zero-emission vehicles, environmental restoration, more sustainable agriculture, recycling, and much more. At least 35 percent of these investments are located within and benefiting residents of disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households across California.

Receive Food for Your Nonprofit

Revamping the Food Bank Model

We’re revamping the current food bank model to help nonprofits with their meal programs. Working with us, they can choose the food they’d like and when they’d like to receive it. This allows organizations to plan ahead and avoid becoming overwhelmed with random food drop-offs.

We take great care in learning about your organization, the populations you serve, and the services you provide. We will help set up a plan that works for you.

Volunteer to Help Us Distribute Food

We move thousands of pounds of food in and out every day to make sure it feeds people across Los Angeles. It’s a fun, yet challenging process that we can’t do without our wonderful volunteers!

You Can Choose How You’d Like to Help

We have opportunities ranging from “chill” – such as packaging food into shareable quantities – to “fast-paced workout replacement,” helping us move and store pallets of food around our facility.

Help with Intake, Sorting, and Sharing

Our volunteers play an integral role throughout our intake, sorting, and sharing processes to ensure food we receive is efficiently distributed to our hardworking recipient agencies.

We want you to join our Exchange Volunteer Team!
