By reclaiming healthy, local food that would otherwise be discarded, training men and women who are unemployed for jobs, and providing healthy meals to fellow citizens, L.A. Kitchen empowers, nourishes, and engages the community.
Program Description: Kitchen Prep Leads work alongside L.A. Kitchen chefs, kitchen staff, and alumni or students from the Empower Program to transform donated produce from local farmers and wholesale companies into wholesome, healthy meals.
Volunteer Roles & Responsibilities: Volunteer Leads are needed to volunteer on a regular basis, and under the direction L.A. Kitchen culinary team, guide other volunteers, pass on valuable knife skills, and kitchen safety protocols.
