Hunger and Homelessness Met With Compassion

Homelessness and hunger is a chronic problem that affects far too many individuals in our country. In the U.S. we throw away about 263 million pounds of food a day … every single day! And much of what is wasted actually is just surplus food, according to www. Hunger in America / Society of St. Andrew endhunger.org/hunger-in-America.

SRO Housing Corporation has partnered with Lunch On Me by providing space at SRO’s James Wood Community Center monthly to feed the homeless. Lunch on Me is a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization dedicated to ending starvation while providing opportunities to enrich the mind, body, and spirit of the Los Angeles homeless community. SRO Housing embodies a passionate vision for ending homelessness, while Lunch on Me is dedicated to putting an end to starvation, so our collaboration makes for a great partnership.

Lunch on Me brings nutritious and organic meals to Skid Row and now reaches more than 10,000 people a month. They redistribute organic food that would otherwise be wasted in order to create delicious and quality meals.
