But, when you Adopt-A-Meal, you commit to provide a specific meal – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner for hungry, homeless and hurting men, women and children who come to the Los Angeles Mission. And since every Mission meal is an opportunity to share life changing hope with someone who is desperate; you can help change lives.

 

Objective:

The Adopt-A-Meal program allows larger volunteer groups to become involved with the Los Angeles Mission and engaged in humanitarian service to our homeless population. Particularly in recent years, the Los Angeles Mission has seen more volunteers who would like to help serve.
 

The Adopt-A-Meal program allows volunteer groups to take charge of a meal as though it were their own event. The volunteers will plan, cover expenses, may prepare and/or decorate the room and serve the designated meal. This also gives volunteers an opportunity for more of a “one-on-one” encounter with homeless and hurting individuals. The Adopt-A-Meal program allows more time to connect with our students, friends and neighbors, as they are being served. You get the opportunity to share directly with those who benefit from your gifts.

 

Receive a Special Membership Plate

Adopt-A-Plate and Adopt-A-Meal participants receive a special membership plate that can be used in a creative way – to teach your children compassion for others, for example. Or to display in your home or office to indicate your commitment to help fight hunger and homelessness in our community. 

 

You and your group can sponsor a designated meal for 500 guests. Your group of up to 30 volunteers can help to prepare and served the meal here at the Los Angeles Mission.
