About Los Angeles Regional Food Bank
A defining feature of the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank’s grantmaking is its repeated, large-scale support for community food distribution partners across Los Angeles County. The top recent grants show multi-year commitments to organizations such as Interfaith Food Center in Santa Fe Springs, which received $6,868,540 in 2023, $6,012,329 in 2024, and $5,668,954 in 2025. Another recurring recipient, Desert Reign in Downey, received $3,770,192 in 2023, $3,434,780 in 2024, and $3,856,425 in 2025. These awards point to a funder that concentrates resources on the operational backbone of hunger relief rather than on isolated, one-time awards.
The foundation’s public focus areas align with that pattern: food security, food bank operations, emergency food assistance, food recovery and redistribution, nutrition education, CalFresh outreach, and children’s and senior nutrition programs. Grants also reach local nonprofit partners serving food access needs in neighborhoods from the San Fernando Valley to the Westside and the Antelope Valley. The result is a grant portfolio centered on sustained food assistance infrastructure and local response capacity.
