In response the COVID-19 crisis, Pars Equality Center in Los Angeles created the Emergency Food Assistance Program to distribute food to those in need in a safe, effective, and reliable manner that complies with COVID-19 social distancing requirements.
Individuals and families who need food can place a REQUEST FOR FOOD by filling out the request form. After the request for food is placed, someone from Pars Equality Center will be contacting the individual who placed the order to confirm the information received, what date and time food will be ready for pick-up.
Pars Equality Center team is working diligently and will do our best to secure enough supply of food items to feed every hungry individual and family requesting food during the current COVID-19 related crisis. However, food supply is dependent on our partners ability to secure the food from their food sources.
More about the Program:
The food distributed at these sites includes nonperishable, shelf-stable food items, and food vouchers.
