By 1992 the program grew 2333% over its daily starting client base of 15 people, serving 350 meals daily. Its mission and fundraising efforts attracted attention of celebrities and their foundations starting with Project Angel Food's first grant of $150,000 from Elizabeth Taylor's AIDS Foundation in 1992. The organization expanded to Long Beach and coordinated frozen meal delivery to synchronize with the client's drug schedules. Five years later, in addition to its Sunset Boulevard kitchen, Project Angel Food has a satellite kitchen in Compton, California, serving daily on average 1,028 meals daily. A $400,000 federal grant and a $5 million capital campaign permitted Project Angel Food to move and expand its primary kitchen at 922 Vine Street in Hollywood. John L. Gile led Project Angel Food as Chief Executive Officer from 1993 to 2008. Source: "Historical Timeline - Project Angel Food ." Project Angel Food . Project Angel Food, n.d. Web. 14 Mar. 2012.
