Are you a food generator with surplus organic waste?

Impact LA invites you to be part of our food rescue and community distribution initiative! By donating your excess food, you can help combat food insecurity, reduce waste, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of underserved families.


We accept fresh produce, prepared meals, and non-perishable items from restaurants, grocery stores, farms, and food distributors. Our team ensures that all recovered food is safely distributed to those in need through our meal programs and community events.

What we do

youth eating meals after-school

Nutritious Meals

 We aim to ensure that all kids get the nutritious meals they need everyday for FREE. Some kids can't count on having a healthy meal waiting for them when they get home, especially a warm one. That is why we are sponsored through DPSS and CDE to ensure we meet the nutritional needs of kids 1-18 years old in order to thrive every day.

Food Rescue

We are committed to rescuing surplus food and redistributing it to those in need. Our food recovery initiative helps combat food insecurity by collecting fresh, nutritious food from local businesses, farms, and food providers that would otherwise go to waste.

We provide effective expanded learning programs during periods where kids are out of school by combining three components—academic enrichment, cultural activities, and recreational opportunities that guide learning and engage children and youth.
