Volunteer with FEAST!... FEAST is looking for student volunteers available on Wednesday afternoons to help package and deliver groceries to families living in South Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The task is simple: help us fill bags with a week’s worth of fresh produce, then leave with 6-8 bags to deliver to families throughout South, Central, and East Los Angeles. Feel assured that you will be making a difference in your community, as 100% of FEAST families are extremely low-income and fresh food access is crucial to help these families live happier, nourishing livesparticularly during the pandemic. Also feel confident that COVID-19 safety protocols are in place to protect the health of our volunteers and families. Sign up here: Grocery Delivery Sign Up About FEAST FEAST is an LA-based non-profit whose mission is to promote health and wellness in communities through the power of healthy foods and human connection. Poor nutrition, unhealthy eating habits, and social isolation are the leading contributors to diet-related diseases, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. And while these issues impact an overwhelming number of Americans today, families in under-resourced neighborhoods are impacted the most. In order to solve these problems, FEAST offers 16-week wellness programs that incorporate food education through nutrition information, recipes and cooking demonstrations, access to fresh whole foods through a weekly grocery scholarship, and support through peer-to-peer sharing circles designed to uncover the underlying causes of current eating habits and create steps forward on the path towards a healthier life.
