Project Angel Food’s kitchen is 80% volunteer-driven, and even one day of volunteering can make Project Angel Food began offering Customized Volunteer Experiences in 2015 and since then we have a world of difference to our most vulnerable neighbors. Since 1989, we’ve delivered more than 12 partnered with over 50 corporations and organizations to create unique and meaningful volunteer million meals to 22,000+ critically ill people. This is made possible by the generosity of dedicated events in our kitchen that build camaraderie and bring medically tailored meals to the homes volunteers who help prepare meals, assist in our office, and staff our events. of those most in need in Los Angeles County. Organizations that choose a Customized Volunteer Experience double their impact by donating both funds and time to Project Angel Food. In 2019 alone, 4,500 compassionate Angele- nos pressed pause on their busy days and donated their time to our lifesaving work. Every single one of those volunteers is invaluable, but we wanted to highlight one in particular, Noemi Torres...

She’s pictured here with her mother (who is also called Noemi) as they head out to deliver meals; something she’s been doing since 2003 after picking up a Project Angel Food postcard at Big 5. She told us, “The first time I volunteered in the kitchen, I knew I belonged there. I keep coming back because I know the impact Project Angel Food has on the community.” We’re grateful to Noemi and the other 4,499 volunteers who make our mission possible.

Our first ever Customized Volunteer Experience (CVE) was designed for Disney VoluntEARS and they’ve returned 19 times since to help out in the kitchen and at special events. After a busy four hours of service in the kitchen, the group photo above was taken in front of artist Collette Miller’s famous angel wing mural. They had arrived at our kitchen at 8 a.m. one morning in February 2019, worked steadily chopping vegetables, scooped healthy-sized portions into containers, then sealed 20% and labeled those containers as made with love by the Disney VoluntEARS. Since 2012 Disney has 42,000 Paid Staﬀ donated more than $63,000 through our CVE program and matching employee gifts. HOURS
