Ontario company donates 100,000 Meals to Los Angeles Regional Foodbank

Five Star Gourmet Foods 

Ontario- Five Star Gourmet Foods has donated 100,000 pre-packaged frozen meals to the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank to help support hunger relief in its local communities. "This donation is part of our commitment to donating a million meals per year" says Five Star's C.E.O. Tal Shoshan. Every day an estimated one in six Americans struggle with hunger. According to the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank 400,000 children face hunger everyday in Los Angeles.

The number of people that are struggling with hunger has reached epic proportions this year. At Five Star Gourmet Foods our goal is to provide aide and get the word out about what can be done to help feed the hungry.

The Foodbank serves approximately 1,900 children at 27 different sites in Los Angeles County each day with their Kids Cafe program. This program provides children with proper nutritious meals and day and after school care to low-income communities.

The Los Angeles Foodbank also hosts a Backpack Program which serves the needs of hungry children over the weekend. After Friday, federal meal programs are not operational and many low income families struggle to provide nutritious foods that children need. Each Friday backpacks containing enough nutritious food for six meals are given to children enrolled in the program.

Join the Foodbank in their efforts to fight hunger by donating food or funds, volunteering your time or advocating for policies that support hunger relief. No matter how you choose to get involved, your efforts make an impact.
