L A Kitchen fed over 3,00 people a week. People who didn’t have access to healthy, nourishing food each day. L A Kitchen accomplished this by collecting food donations, training a class of ~24 formerly or recently incarcerated individuals, young people who aged out of the foster care system or formerly homeless individuals who worked hard and trained hard to build new culinary skills. A class of 24 - five times a year - in a 14 week training course.
L A Kitchen has champions like Chef Jose Andres, now best known for his social conscience and altruism.
Robert Egger, L A Kitchen’s founder and tireless Director, was very recently forced to temporarily shut its doors because of loss of funding. L A Kitchen is in a period of rebuilding.
