LA Regional Food Bank and Rams Raise $270,000 at Taste of the Rams: About 500 Guests and $1.7 Million Over 11 Years
The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and the Los Angeles Rams held the 11th annual Taste of the Rams fundraising dinner on November 2 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, welcoming approximately 500 guests and raising $270,000 to support hunger relief across Los Angeles County, the Food Bank announced on November 6.
Over its 11 years, Taste of the Rams has raised approximately $1.7 million, helping provide the equivalent of 6.8 million meals to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Through a network of more than 600 partner agencies and its own distribution programs, the Food Bank provides food assistance to more than 1.1 million people each month, at a time when about one in four households in the county faces food insecurity.
This year's honorary chairs were Rams players Kobie Turner, Kyren Williams and Steve Avila, and presenting sponsors included Bank of America, Crum & Forster and Don Lee Farms. Guests were served dishes by celebrated local chefs, including Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken of Border Grill.
The partnership continues beyond the dinner. The Food Bank and the Rams will host two more community food distributions at SoFi Stadium, on November 18 and December 22, for individuals and families facing food insecurity during the holiday season. Michael Flood, the Food Bank's president and CEO, said the event is a reminder of what a community can accomplish when it comes together for a shared purpose. The Food Bank has served the county for more than 50 years, puts 96 percent of its revenue into programs, and holds the highest ratings from Candid and Charity Navigator.
