Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass visited Project Angel Food to tour the facility, greet staff and volunteers, help prepare meals, and present the organization’s 16 millionth meal to a client living with serious illness.
This was her first official visit to a non-profit since assuming office in January. During the event, Mayor Bass emphasized the importance of food in healthcare and acknowledged Project Angel Food’s work in providing free, nutritious meals that contribute to keeping their clients stably housed.
CEO Richard Ayoub noted that the organization’s food delivery program is a preventive measure against homelessness.
During the event, Mayor Bass also participated in preparing meals by rolling up her sleeves and filling trays with stir-fry chicken and vegetables, which is one of Project Angel Food’s most popular dishes. Afterward, Ayoub and Mayor Bass counted down to the 16 millionth meal, which she presented to Leon, the client who received it. The mayor also took time to talk with the 70-year-old Hollywood resident, who is living with comorbidities of congestive heart failure and cancer.
Project Angel Food’s mission is to end food insecurity for critically ill individuals in Los Angeles by delivering medically tailored meals with compassion and hope. They feed 2,500 people per day and prepare and deliver over 1.5 million meals per year.
Karen Bass will move the city towards that of Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit and DC.
It’s a good time to sell property and move to states with law and order…and lower taxes.
Oh shut up. I proudly contribute to Project Angel Food and happily pay extra taxes that will help shelter our city’s homeless population. Go ahead and move out of California, we won’t miss you!
These so called projects do nothing to lower actual rates of homelessness. In fact the rate of homelessness is accelerating globally due to income inequality. Google scholar can assist you in finding peer reviewed articles that statistically prove these facts (Butulan, 2022).
