L.A. Kitchen
Reducing food waste, creating jobs, and providing healthy meals to seniors
What They Do
The kitchen provides recently released inmates and former foster care youth with apprenticeship opportunities in the culinary arts for eventual job placement.
Sourcing healthy fruits and vegetables that are either cosmetically imperfect or unsold from farmers markets or food wholesalers, L.A. Kitchen is able to reconstitute perfectly good food and reduce food waste.
Founded by Robert Egger, a social enterprise visionary and founder of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, L.A. Kitchen strengthens the community with multiple sustainable partnerships that facilitate the evolution of students into culinary professionals and reclaimed food into healthy and profitable dishes.
The organization is responsible for a virtuous cycle that saves the state and taxpayers from additional costs while producing cheaper, healthier meals for distribution to the hungry and indigent.
