Small acts big impact

We are seeking volunteers to make lunches every Sunday for the Hollywood Food Coalition to distribute across the region. You can make the lunches at home or in a group with friends. Most people make about 10 lunches, but you can make as many as you'd like. Label the bag with the type of sandwich (this is important and allows us to give the recipients a choice). Be generous—this is the only meal these folks get all day. Lunches should contain at least six items: drink (water, Capri sun, soda), sandwich (PB+J, turkey, ham and cheese are most common), chips (individually packaged), fruit (oranges, apple sauce, bananas, but please no apples—too hard on teeth), cookies (individually packaged), and snack (beef jerky, granola bar, nuts, etc.). No glass. No alcohol. Some people decorate their bags (not required but much appreciated). Lastly, drop your lunches off at one of our drop-off locations.

HODG is a very unique community. It's kind of like a boy/girl scouts for adults. It's about connection with one another, about hanging out, and doing whatever we can to make the world better. It is also made up of mostly people for whom our systems work. All too often those people don't get involved in civic actions. HODG educates them and organizes them to be a part of the solutions!

Volunteers will help with distributing clothing and personal hygiene essentials directly to those in need at our service location. Project Ropa staff will be on-site at all times during services.
