Food bank
Healthy people ⇔ healthy planet
Thrive Food Bank is a Los Angeles County food bank that provides free farmer’s markets which offer fresh locally sourced fruits and vegetables to food insecure populations.
Our holistic approach to food insecurity takes a long term view of physical, mental and planetary health, all of which are benefited from a move towards a vegetarian diet.
How We Work
We use an entirely electric truck fleet to distribute produce and other vegetarian foods to underserved Los Angeles County neighborhoods facing nutrition gaps, and we compost all our food waste.
How you can help
With your support, we’re able to give back and help individuals facing food insecurity.
