Welcome to Food Finders

Food Finders is a multiregional food bank that rescues food from hundreds of local grocery stores, bakeries, restaurants and produce markets. This food is then taken directly to missions, shelters and domestic agencies to feed the needy and impoverished. We rely on our volunteers and staff drivers to help pick up and deliver on a same-day basis. On average, Food Finders helps feed 16,000 people a day, reducing the amount of food insecurity prevalent in neighborhoods throughout Southern California.

Did You Know....

L.A County alone throws away 2.3 Billion pounds of food a year...that's 3,000 pounds per second!

Nearly 1/2 of all U.S. children will live in poverty and be on food stamps at some point in their life.

More energy is wasted in the perfectly edible food discarded by U.S. citizens yearly than is available in oil and gas reserves off our coastlines.
