L.A. Kitchen’s first annual “Shared Plates” event was a wonderful success! With 550 guests and hosts, we raised $40,000 for L.A. Kitchen. EVERY dollar of that was matched for a total of $80,000. It’s not too late to help us reach our $100,000 goal. Donate here.
I’ll be posting more photos from our Shared Plates dinner soon, but you can read more about the magical evening here.
Cheers! Jo Stougaard (Founder, L.A. Bites Hunger)

The L.A. Kitchen is a nonprofit facility located in L.A.’s Eastside that recovers fresh fruit and vegetables to be used in a culinary arts job-training program for former inmates and young adults leaving the foster care system. They also create healthy meals for low-income seniors. In case you missed the print edition on Saturday, the online link is here.
L.A. Bites Hunger will be organizing volunteer days at the L.A. Kitchen. Please comment with your email if you’d like more information.
