Mission Statement
Food on Foot is a nonprofit dedicated to assisting our unhoused and low-income neighbors in Los Angeles with nutritious meals, clothing, and a fresh start through life-skills training, full-time employment, and permanent housing.
Description
As a volunteer, you'll strengthen our community by distributing food, clothing and essential supplies to 280+ unhoused and low-income neighbors. You will also meet and hear stories from the participants in our Jobs & Housing program. Graduates from this program earn their way off the streets with full-time jobs, fully-furnished apartments, life-skills training, and the confidence needed to make their accomplishments long-lasting.
Kids are welcome! Volunteering with Food on Foot is kid friendly and the perfect way to give back as a family. Children ages 6 and up are welcome. Everyone under 18 must sign up online and be accompanied by a supervising ticketed adult.

I can honestly say that volunteering for Food on Foot has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. The entire staff was so pleasurable to work with and I am looking forward to the next serving!

I volunteered with Food on Foot on Thanksgiving, and yes, I had to pay $100, but I can honestly say that being there was worth much more than that. I almost felt bad when I was leaving for the day, because I think I got more out of the experience than the people we actually helped. I look forwad to volunteering again at a regular Sunday serving with Food on Foot, which is actually only $20.

In my opinion, volunteering with FOF is one of the most fulfilling ways to spend a Sunday afternoon. You have a chance to experience first hand the enormity and possible scope of effect of your efforts on another individual's life. In return, volunteers walk away with a much greater understanding and different perspective on LA's homeless population. FOF brings hope to the people it serves, as well as the volunteers that serve it. I highly recommend seeing for yourself!

Volunteering with Food on Foot was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had. When you see the long lines of people in need gathered around to get food and clothing that FOF provides, it confirms that the hour and a half you take out of your day is more than worth it. Jay, the founder of Food on Foot, and his team rewards the homeless that partake in the program awards for their accomplishments throughout the week. The looks on their faces when you give them the award will make you come back week after week.

Volunteering with Food on Food was an amazing experience that I feel extremely privilaged to be a part of. This organization is amazing from the directors to the volunteers to the people they help and I can't wait to volunteer again!

Food on Foot is the only organization I've ever volunteered with where you, the volunteer, receive instant gratification. You are able to see on the spot the difference you are making in people's lives, and you can't put a price tag on that feeling.

They REQUIRE $100.... if you do not have a required donation.... they do not want you to help... ummm is this really non-profit? or is it profit? I sent them an e-mail stating I did not have the money {$100} but I would volunteer my time and effort for their cause... but I WAS DENIED. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS ORGANIZATIONS ways of operation.
