Summer only magnifies the crisis: without school meals, families turn to food banks just as donations typically decline. This year\u2019s Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing drive provided crucial relief, ensuring nutritious meals reached local families during this vulnerable season.<br \/>\u201cFood insecurity continues to impact far too many families in Los Angeles, and children are among the hardest hit,\u201d said Los Angeles Regional Food Bank President and CEO Michael Flood. \u201cThanks to the generous support of NorthStar Moving, Compass Real Estate, and the community members who contributed, we can continue to provide nutritious meals and hope to our neighbors who need it most.\u201d<br \/>Though the 2025 Let\u2019s Send Hunger Packing food drive has concluded, the need remains urgent.
