Los Angeles, CA — Families across South Los Angeles are invited to take part in a Holiday Food Distribution hosted by the Office of Mayor Karen Bass this Saturday, December 20, in Leimert Park. The event is designed to support households experiencing financial hardship by providing holiday meal boxes, including a turkey, along with gifts for children.
This community-focused effort is made possible with support from Amazon and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, ensuring families can access nutritious food during the holiday season.
Who Is Eligible?
The holiday food distribution is open to families who reside in South Los Angeles, specifically within Service Planning Area 6 (SPA 6). This includes communities such as:
- Crenshaw District
- Watts
- Hyde Park
- Surrounding South LA neighborhoods
To ensure fair access, one registration per household is permitted. Duplicate registrations will be voided so that as many families as possible can receive support.
Why Registration Matters
Registration is required to guarantee your household receives a holiday food box. By registering in advance, organizers can:
- Prepare the correct food box size for your household
- Provide age-appropriate gifts for children
- Offer a Priority Check-In Lane for faster service and reduced wait times
What to Bring on Event Day
Registered families should come prepared with:
- Registration confirmation (printed or digital screenshot with QR code)
- A portable cart or wagon to help transport food boxes, groceries, and gifts
Walk-Up Information
Families who are unable to register may attempt to attend as walk-ups; however, walk-up service will only occur after all registered families have been served, and supplies may be limited. Expect possible wait times. Registration remains the best way to ensure support.
