Playa Vista Farmers’ Market and Playa Vista Today Launches Holiday Food Drive

Hunger-relief for the holidays to low income clients for West Los Angeles families in need
 
LOS ANGELES - Nov. 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Playa Vista Farmers’ Market and Playa Vista Today Magazine today kicked off our Holiday Food Drive benefitting the Food Pantry, LAX. The Food Pantry, LAX provides groceries to the less fortunate in the area reaching from the Pacific Ocean sides of Westchester and El Segundo to the eastern edge of Inglewood.  They provide groceries for 600 people per week for a couple of days of meals.  They receive their food from donations from individuals, from food producers, from farmers markets and buy the rest to provide a balanced menu.  They are all volunteers and have depended on their community support to the last thirty-two years to continue feeding the poor.

Through the end of November, individuals can donate non-perishable food items and drop off at the Information Booth at the Playa Vista Farmers’ Market on Saturdays from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm.

Our Holiday Food Drive channels the spirit of giving and aims to provide needy individuals and families with healthy and delicious holiday food so they have one less tough decision to make.

The Playa Vista Farmers’ Market is located just beneath Loyola Marymount University and one block down from the shops at Concert Park in Playa Vista.
