The Food Bank will serve the first 224 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants must bring identification to verify their age and a cart or carrier to transport their food box. While someone else may collect food on behalf of a participant, they must visit together on the first occasion.

The food items provided will include fruits, juice, vegetables, milk, cheese, grains, and protein. The next Food Bank event is scheduled for September 17 at 1 p.m.

For more information about the Food Bank, please call (213) 387-7733.
