About our partner: The Islamic Center’s Food Pantry is a volunteer-run service program that has been regularly serving the Los Angeles Koreatown community since 2004. Volunteers arrive every Saturday morning to prepare for food distribution. In less than two hours, approximately 6,000 pounds of fresh produce, dry and canned goods and meat are distributed to about 150 local families. Rain or shine, the program is proud to serve hundreds of needy families all 52 Saturdays a year.
