To nourish the community by rescuing and distributing food, preparing nightly meals, and uniting efforts to achieve food equity.
Hollywood Food Coalition’s grantmaking is built around food rescue, daily meal preparation, and direct support for community organizations serving Angelenos. In the recent grants list, the largest award was $1,044,084 to Victory Outreach of Compton (voc) in 2024, followed by $620,951 to Mary’s Kitchen in 2025. Those grants fit a pattern of funding community-assistance organizations that distribute food, serve people facing housing instability, and help meet immediate needs. The foundation’s active programs reinforce that approach: one rescues surplus food and redistributes it through a Los Angeles network, and another mobilizes meals during emergencies such as wildfires and pandemics. Recent grants also show support for organizations such as Mutual Aid in Los Angeles, Community of Friends, and Covenant House California. The result is a local grantmaker focused on food equity through operating support for frontline providers, emergency meal response, and community-level distribution systems. Its giving is concentrated in California and reaches organizations across Los Angeles and nearby communities.
Food security is the clearest throughline in Hollywood Food Coalition’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $157,205 to Helping Hands Food Pantry in Los Angeles and $96,190 to The People’s Coalition in Anaheim for its free grocery program. It also funded Harmony Bites in Los Angeles with $209,570 in 2025, alongside other community-assistance grants tied to meal and food access work. The foundation’s emergency response work appears in its active program for crisis meal mobilization, which provides fresh meals and immediate food resources during disasters and other disruptions. Its community-wellness and housing-related support includes grants such as $144,004 to Van Ness Recovery House in 2025 and $103,063 to Alexandria House (housing) in 2024, both in Los Angeles. Together, these grants show a mix of food distribution, meal provision, and basic-needs support for local service providers.
Typical grants are mid-sized, with a p25 of $13,093, a median of $31,982, and a p75 of $65,504. The recent list also includes several six-figure awards, which suggests a layered approach that combines smaller operating grants with larger awards to core community partners. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Victory Outreach of Compton, Mutual Aid, Community of Friends, Bel Air Board and Care, Alexandria House, and 714 Mutual Aid. Hollywood Food Coalition is a public charity and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its Community Exchange program accepts unsolicited requests, while the Emergency Response program does not.
