Project Angel Food

Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson and David Kessler held the first fundraiser for Project Angel Food and raised $11,000.

[2] In 1990, The Project Angel Food Program moved into the kitchen of the Crescent Heights United Methodist Church.

By 1994, over 100 individuals called for meal services each month and Project Angel Food moved into a new kitchen, funded by donations by Barry Diller, David Geffen, Barbra Streisand and Ron Burkle.

In 2006, Project Angel Food acquired a new building at 922 Vine Street in Hollywood, CA to serve as their permanent headquarters.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held with Council President Eric Garcetti, Councilmember Tom LaBonge, Board Chair Merrily Newton among others.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 15, 2007, marking the official opening of our new building and the delivery of the 5 millionth meal.

Margaret Steele took over the helm from long-time chair John Gile as the new CEO of Project Angel Food.

[11] Additional fundraising revenue has come from Feed Beads, bracelets made by volunteers and sold at events, and Do Good Cookies, cookies baked in the Project Angel Food kitchens and sold at four Pavilions Supermarkets in Los Angeles, California and Pasadena, California.

[13] The organization attracted headlines when it was reported that, early into the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Harry and Meghan), were volunteering with them by personally delivering food to people's homes.

The 2014 dinner, hosted by Sharon Stone, featured the presentation of the inaugural Elizabeth Taylor Leadership Award to philanthropist Aileen Getty.
