LOS ANGELES, CA— December 10, 2024 —The 22nd Annual Season for Sharing event hosted by the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank took place at the Omni Hotel in LA on December 4. During the luncheon, the Food Bank recognized and celebrated the significant contributions of donors, individuals, and organizations in the ongoing battle against hunger in Los Angeles County.

“In the ongoing fight against food and nutrition insecurity, the steadfast dedication of our Season for Sharing honorees serves as an inspiration for building healthier, food and nutrition-secure communities,” says Michael Flood, President and CEO of the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. “The remarkable commitment of our community partners exemplifies the collaboration needed to tackle the growing food and nutrition insecurity issues in our communities. With so many LA County residents facing food insecurity, the need to unite and take action is as urgent as ever.”

Amazon received this year’s Community Partner Award. Amazon has been an instrumental supporter of the Food Bank, donating $472,000 to help provide nutritious meals. In 2024, Amazon continued to support the community with the home delivery program that started during the pandemic, offering to deliver food resources to high-risk individuals who were advised to stay home during the peak of the pandemic – donating time and free delivery services during a period of heightened need.

This year’s Partners Making a Difference Award went to La Salle College Preparatory. Their students, faculty and staff are guided by five core principles, which include a strong emphasis on service through classes and opportunities to serve in their communities. Over the course of four years, a graduating senior would have participated in more than 75 hours of service and over the years, La Salle has contributed innumerable hours of volunteer service to the Food Bank, including large groups or individuals for days of service.
