Food Forward

Food Forward's mission is to reconnect people with people - through food - by bringing together volunteers and neighbors to share in the gleaning and distributing of locally grown food from private homes and public spaces which is then distributed to local food pantries and organizations serving our community's most vulnerable. Having sprouted in early 2009, in just over three years, Food Forward has grown into Southern California's largest harvesting-for-the-hungry organization, by supplying 25+ agencies, large and small, with over 900,000 pounds (or 3.6 million servings) of local, free produce which otherwise would have gone to waste.
