COVID-19 Emergency Relief
To minimize the damage of COVID-19 on food insecure people and counteract the effect of two pantry closures, Westside Food Bank coordinated with the City of Santa Monica to open a weekly pop-up food pantry in a city park that provides over 17,000 pounds of food for more than 500 households each week. We also have opened two pop-up pantries, one in Culver City and the second in the West LA area. Additionally we are working with Meals on Wheels West to provide boxes of groceries that volunteers deliver to homebound seniors along with their prepared meals.
