PROJECT ANGEL FOOD KITCHEN ASSISTANCE
Date: Sunday, April 26, 2026Time: 8AM - 12PMLocation: Project Angel Food922 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90038
Project Angel Food’s kitchen is 80% volunteer-driven. We serve men, women, and children throughout all of Los Angeles County who are debilitated by serious illnesses and cannot shop or cook for the food they need to survive and heal. They are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, congestive heart failure, COPD, diabetes, end-stage renal disease, HIV/AIDS, stroke-cardiovascular accident and/or other serious diseases. Many are struggling with two or more illnesses.
Kitchen volunteers don’t need to be great cooks, simply take direction from our professionally trained chefs. You’ll join compassionate people in chopping vegetables, stirring sauces, mixing batter, baking cookies, and packaging the meals. We have a parking lot behind the building, but it may not be able to accommodate every volunteer. We encourage carpooling, rideshare, and public transportation. There is ample street parking in the area, but please watch signs closely. There is absolutely no parking in the 7-11 parking lot.
No refunds per LAPA policy.
