L.A. Regional Food Bank provides food support to numerous community agencies serving Los Angeles, ranging from large homeless shelters that feed hundreds of people a day to small daycare programs. It is the second largest food bank operating in the United States.

How to find each other: Please RSVP here and I'll be near the registration desk, looking for you, up until about 9 am! I'll send my cell phone in an email a few days before. To avoid missing each other, please text me at the cell number I give in the email, or you can call me . Also, you can leave a message here on Meetup in the meeting comments that you've arrived. I want to connect with you, so I'll be watching for messages up until about 9:30 am, and sometimes even later!

Not during COVID, but normally we go to lunch at a local restaurant if people feel like it!
