How to Advocate for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank: Making a Difference Beyond Volunteering or Donating

How to Advocate for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank: Making a Difference Beyond Volunteering or Donating

By taking simple steps, you could help the Food Bank feed hundreds of thousands of individuals each month.

Hunger affects millions of individuals and families in Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is dedicated to fighting hunger in our community, and we rely on the generosity of the community to continue our work. If volunteering or donating isn’t feasible for you, advocacy is a powerful way to support our mission and positively impact our neighbors’ lives.

Advocacy amplifies our voice and spreads awareness about the critical issue of food insecurity. By speaking up and encouraging others to take action, you help the Food Bank reach more people in need. The following are ways to advocate for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

Take it to Social Media: Use your social media platforms to share stories, facts, and updates from the Food Bank. A simple post about the impact of food insecurity in LA County or an upcoming Food Bank initiative can inspire others to get involved or simply inform someone about the need to address food insecurity.

Engage with Local Leaders: Contact your elected officials and urge them to support policies that address hunger, including a Farm Bill that strengthens critical federal nutrition programs. Writing letters or making calls to advocate for funding and programs can lead to systemic change.

Spread the Word: Talk to your friends, family, and coworkers about the Food Bank’s mission. Share our website, events, and opportunities to help them learn how they can contribute.

The Food Bank hosts three events throughout the year, including Taste of the Rams, A Million Reasons, and Season for Sharing. Consider signing up for our monthly newsletter to learn about upcoming events. 

Take advantage of easily creating an online fundraiser to rally your network: Every dollar raised provides nutritious meals for our neighbors, and your support makes a lifesaving difference. Turn your next event, birthday or passion into an online fundraiser to help feed hundreds of thousands of our neighbors across LA County.

Your voice matters. Advocacy not only helps raise awareness but also empowers others to take action. Join us in the fight against hunger today by becoming an advocate for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
