We are rapidly growing and evolving to meet the need for our services.

Our meals are always free to our clients, made possible by generous individual and corporate donors, by grants from government agencies and private foundations – and by partnerships from healthcare organizations. We are thrilled to be partnering with five managed care plans to provide meals as medicine in Los Angeles. We want your help to continue to accomplish that with excellence.

Project Angel Food is dynamic and fast-growing, with opportunities for professional growth within the organization.
