Our HoFoCo programs have grown within the past mon Our HoFoCo programs have grown within the past month! This wouldn't be possible without our amazing staff, generous volunteers, and wonderful community partnerships! Last month The Exchange moved into a new home where we can grow and co-director Bryan Pauquette, @fawley_n_around, @mosamraa, @nick_murray__, and @krys.grant can continue to supply our kitchen and growing group of community partners on a larger scale. By assessing what each organization needs they have been able to provide everyone with curated bundles thoughtfully packaged together! Our fabulous partnership with @hang.out.do.good celebrated a 1 year anniversary in March and we are still going strong. H.O.D.G. has NEVER missed a Sunday to donate their beautiful bags that make our clients, families, and organizations feel special every single Sunday! Thank you to the #HOGD squad that continues to make meal bags, drop off essentials, help sort, to distribute!  Community wellness is at the heart of everything we do and we've created a few ways to donate to some of our most at-risk clients via the Amazon Wishlists in our bio! We have a set of needs for our Wednesday mobile clinic and essentials for our unhoused community. A big thank you to meal service lead @molly_knight for leading the donation drive and getting 100s of items quickly donated and distributed nightly during our meal services. Check out these amazing stats and if you would like to help any of our programs check out the 🔗links🔗on our account to find ways to volunteer daily at the exchange, donate, or support our community wellness.  . . . . . . #hofoco #foodinsecurity #endhomelessness #endhunger #fighthunger #communitypartners #thankyouucla #UCLAMCP #heathcare #UCLA #hollywoodblvd #wellness #socialservice #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth
Meet @sophieminoosh! She joined HoFoCo in July an Meet @sophieminoosh! She joined HoFoCo in July and has been helping us ever since! What first impressed Sophie most about the Community Exchange was the fast turnover of the food. “So much of the food that you see is going to be on someone’s plate that night It’s such a rewarding feeling to know of the immediate impact the Community Exchange has for hundreds of people in the Hollywood community.” Sophie’s favorite part of the day is being able to share food with our community partners and knowing the specific needs and wishes of the recipients.. . . . . . . . #hofoco #endhomelessness #communitypartners #foodinsecurity #endhunger #fighthunger #NonProfit #hollywoodBlvd #LosAngelesNonProfit

This is an honor and we will continue to do good work for our great community that we love 365 days a year! #endhomelessness #endhunger Via the fantastic @lagoodfood Congratulations to @hollywoodfoodco! Council District 4 @nithyaforthecity selected them as their district’s Good Food Champion this year! The Hollywood Food Coalition (HoFoCo) seeks to construct a more cohesive, just, and compassionate community, and serves over 50,000 delicious and healthy meals annually to unhoused and food insecure individuals, every single night of the year since 1987. In response to skyrocketing food insecurity throughout the city, exacerbated by the pandemic, HoFoCo opened the Community Exchange program in May 2020 to fill a missing component in the food rescue process. The Exchange is a free food concierge service that aims to provide small to medium-sized social service nonprofits with the food they need, when they want it, so they can focus on their missions. Just this year, HoFoCo rescued over 600,000 lbs of food from over 130 businesses and food recovery groups, and efficiently shared with over 60 nonprofits, providing an average of 10,550 meals per week to partner organizations. Click the link in our bio to read more about this year’s Good Food Champions and ways to support them! . 🎉From feeding frontline workers to organizing food distributions, across Los Angeles we have amazing food heroes who are going above and beyond for our communities, especially during this difficult time. Join us alongside LA County Supervisors, LA City Councilmembers, and their districts in celebrating some of the many heroes out there making a difference in our community! 📣You can support their businesses or organizations by learning more about who they are and what they do.
