Community Space Food Bank is committed to food preservation, sustainability, community building, and support. We provide healthy nutrition options seven days a week to any community member in need, without requiring ID or registration. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we are not yet grant-funded but rely on community support through daily donations and a strong volunteer base. We encourage small donations for items to sustain our lease and operations and partner to provide weekly food distribution and referrals for daily meals and support to any community member in need. In addition to food, we accept clothes and other usable items and offer various volunteer opportunities.

In the interim, our current goal is to build a robust network of community partners, including farmers markets, food banks, schools, supermarkets, and other food distributors. By providing food daily, we ensure that food waste or surplus from these partners is redirected to provide direct relief to community members. These partnerships are essential for keeping our food pantry fully stocked and maintaining high community engagement. Our end-of-year goal is to become a fully operational freeze-drying center to preserve food before its expiration and reduce waste and hunger in and around LA. Our long-term vision is to establish a network of freeze-drying centers across California and the U.S. to significantly reduce food waste, hunger, and address national emergencies, ultimately contributing to the eradication of world hunger.
