    Wonderful organization to volunteer with! Orientation was quick and efficient. My colleagues and I had a rewarding experience. Would definitely volunteer again at Project Angel Food. Thank you for the heartfelt experience.

    **FUN VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE** Thanks to Katie B. and Yelp, I was able to volunteer for a worthy cause! ABOUT ====== They prepare and deliver around 1,200 meals daily with people like us. That's a WIN! PARKING ======== 922 Vine Street between Willoughby and Barton. Free parking behind the building and parking on the street. VOLUNTEER =========== 8:00AM-11:30AM Watched an Orientation Video and then: - Scooped rice into trays. - Packed food into bags. - Defrosted and seasoned chicken parts. (I didn't break a nail, thank you!) OVERALL ========= The shift went by fast. Had a great time getting to know the volunteers and staff (thank you, Dan and Chef John)! Love the good feelings and vibes of volunteering! HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you have some free time.

    One of the best organized non-profit I have ever known. They have been in the community for years. They have lots of supporters including celebrities. They spread out the awareness to the public. They have done lots of fund raising. They have many volunteer opportunity, in the office, in the kitchen, etc.

    A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of volunteering with fellow Yelp Elites. Firstly, a huge thanks to Katie B. for arranging this great experience. I've been wanting to volunteer with Project Angel Food (PAJ) for a few years now, but life gets in the way and I never found time. Katie was able to schedule a time and date for a small group of us and I made sure to be available for it. I worked alongside some other great and hardworking Yelpers to get the task at hand done, which was to prepare and package meals for those who truly need the assistance. Robert from PAJ shed some light on the company, its history and walked us through the orientation process for new volunteers. Just listening to him speak about the company and the good being accomplished already made me feel like I was about to embark on something great and do something that would help others. After orientation and washing our hands continuously and aggressively, we "suited up": hairnet, apron, gloves - and continued on to accept our given task. Some of us were serving food on trays, others were shrink wrapping and packing ready-to-go meals, but I got the task of meal prep - which was great! I love cooking so following a recipe was a piece of cake, but only with the assistance of Juan, the kitchen manager. With the assistance of other Yelpers, I made an apricot sauce for the roasted chicken thighs that someone else had cooked and prepared mashed sweet potatoes. Once these two sides were done, we swiftly formed a conveyor belt that scooped, poured and ladled even portions of food into trays and set them on racks to be packaged. It really does take a lot of elbow grease to get this job done and you will break a sweat, but it's so worth it! I left with a smile on my face knowing that my hard work will benefit someone and the satisfaction of this experience is my own; I'm being rewarded by being able to help others. Plus, I got to meet some awesome Yelpers. I didn't expect to be rewarded for performing volunteer work, but Katie graciously treated us to lunch. She's got a heart of gold. Thank you again!

    Once I attended the orientation 2 weeks ago I immediately signed up for volunteering and have already done 2 half days and 1 full day. The people I've met have been amazing from the volunteers to the chefs and the PAF team who manage this awesome NPO. I've always hesitated to do something like this but now I've thrown myself in I'll be looking for similar opportunities wherever I travel in the world. What a great way to make friends who all share a common goal - to help the needy. Thank you Project Angel Food for all you do !!

    Neat meals ready to be packaged

    Project Angel Food provides the much needed service of delivering three meals a day to the homes of people who have serious diseases and can not muster up the strength to work or cook for themselves. Knowing you will have food on the table alleviates the stress and financial trouble of finding your own food, so the patients can focus on other aspects of their lives. How is it possible that they can crank out three meals a day, every day, for these folks and still have time to hand deliver them? Yes, you guessed it...that's where the volunteers come in. Volunteering at Project Angel Food is as rewarding as it is fun. We attended a quick orientation where they showed us a really cheesy video, then we were on the floor, gloved, aproned, netted, and put to work. Our group of Yelpers were divided to do different tasks. Some scooped cereal into plastic packages, others pried off defrosted chicken, and I was put in an assembly line portioning food to be shrink wrapped. The meals are healthy and look filling, and after they are wrapped TV-dinner style, the meals for the day are packed into styrofoam boxes and are ready to go. The three hours we were there passed by quickly, and I really would have been okay with working a longer shift. Maybe it was because I got to work with yummy smelling granola instead of raw chicken! Sorry, Katie and Betty! I believe they feed you too for your time, but we dipped out to get salad together. It was a pleasure and a privilege to help this worthy organization, and I would not hesitate at the opportunity to go back again! It would probably be a fun idea for a date too :). Definitely left feeling better and filled with purpose.

    Lunch prepped by Chefs for the Volunteers

    Still volunteering months later and LOVE it!! Super Friendly chefs with positive attitudes that really know how to cook Great, fresh food for a great cause. Come with a positive attitude and be willing to help with anything and you'll be fine! Friday morning shifts between 8am-1230pm are best and my Favorite time to volunteer cuz its not too crowded and Chefs John and Daniel are super nice and fun to work with. Afterwards, they usually make lunch for the Volunteers as a Thank You for helping out. Gotta say, I'm damn proud to be an Angel!!

    Volunteered for the first time today after taking orientation 2 months ago. Started at 8am and was done at noon. Juan, the staff chef on Sunday, was very nice, funny, friendly, grateful, and good with people. The org is very well run, focused on keeping volunteers happy and Robert the volunteer coordinator is also great to work with. You park in the lot right behind the bldg whereas staff have to somehow find neighborhood parking. You can get free lunch when you volunteer in the kitchen from about 12pm-1pm. I came with my boyfriend and we worked together for the first 30 min and the last hour. Aside from that you do various tasks that Juan assigns you. I sauteed, cooked, measured, mixed, stored, sorted, and plated all sorts of food! I also saw my bf chopping zucchini, bagging, labeling, opening cans, and gathering supplies when we weren't doing QA of the beans and plating the beef patties and penne. The huge industrial kitchen was neat. The stirring paddle was almost as tall as me! Juan is running around the whole time checking in on about 20 people who are all doing different tasks; amazing mgmt skills. The kitchen is big so you don't feel cramped. Wear comfy shoes! You stand a lot. Everyone is nice and friendly and all ages and backgrounds. Some volunteer for fun (us), some would rather do it vs paying a traffic ticket, some need school credit for HS or college. We plan on doing this every other month. Here are some guidelines. Please remember the following essentials: * Please arrive promptly at 8:00am for your orientation. We will begin your orientation when all the participants arrive. * Please wear closed-toe, rubber-soled, flat shoes when working in the kitchen. No sandals. * Wear comfortable clothes (No cut-offs/mid-riffs, cap sleeves or tank tops, please)--shorts are okay when working in the kitchen. * No hanging jewelry. * You will need to cover your heads so either bring a baseball cap or we will provide hairnets. * Your AM kitchen shift will end around 12noon * If anyone on your team is sick, please ask them to stay home. Many of our clients have very low immune systems and we don't want to compromise them. * You will be encouraged to take staggered breaks throughout the shift. Please don't all take a break together.

    Super cute car

    My husband and I have been fostering two bunnies from Bunny World Foundation (BWF) for about a year…read morenow. After losing our previous bunny unexpectedly, which totally wrecked us, we found immense comfort and support through this incredible community of rabbit lovers. Lejla, Jane, and the long-time volunteers are exceptionally knowledgeable about bunny care and wellness, and they truly care about every single animal. Bunnies are not "easy" pets, so having a whole community to lean on and ask questions around the clock makes the world of difference. Because of BWF, I've become a much better caretaker in providing a suitable environment, proper diet, and grooming. Fostering Popcorn and Zoe has been such a joy. It's unfortunate that people tend to overlook REWs (Ruby-Eyed Whites) because of their eyes, but Zoe is brilliant! She's a smart girl who has recently started zooming and binkying the second she hears the fridge open up until you set that nice plate of greens down. While she prefers her enclosure, if you step into her space, she'll happily demand pets and treats. Popcorn is a curious guy who explores the house every day as if it's his first time seeing it yet we can completely trust him not to chew on anything! He earned his name from the hilarious midair body shakes during his binkies, witnessing one will absolutely make your day. He is notorious for his afternoon nap flops as well. Zoe is definitely the dominant one, which means Popcorn grooms her every single day. We can always tell when Zoe tries to return the favor because she's... not great at it. Popcorn ends up looking like he just rolled out of bed! Both of them are incredibly well-behaved, used to being groomed, and will happily sit in your lap for hours during a grooming session. Hopefully Popcorn and Zoe can find their perfect forever home where they will have more space to binky and explore! If you are looking to adopt, foster, or support a rescue that truly knows and cares for rabbits, Bunny World Foundation is an amazing option.

    I affirm the contents of that one other review for this. Speaking of which, organizations that do…read morereally well in doing so much good for the community should receive more of the recognition and support they deserve! :) The nonprofit is the base that hosts volunteer activities initiated by different groups all over the city. It is the hub from which various other nonprofits voice and turn the wheels of their projects. Even a recent Yelp Beach Cleanup event, associated with Heal the Bay, required volunteers to sign up first with LA Works. For MLK's Day, LA Works planned a morning at Rosemont Elementary where hundreds of people, most of them a part of their employer company (ex. Target, Home Depot, JP Morgan, Accenture), showed up to help revitalize the campus. A radio station came prepared with dancing and music to jumpstart the day. Volunteers were assigned letters and numbers, then told to report to their assigned tasks. It was all very organized and efficient. They cleaned the computer labs, classrooms, storage room and rec room. Adults and kids alike transformed drab brown walls into a playground of rainbows and sunshine. Snacks, juice and water were available throughout the event. Following, food trucks showed up, some of which were either prepaid by the organization or declined to charge. You can become a volunteer by signing up for an account - and then going through their available search options for projects you would be interested in. I like looking through their calendar for a big picture of their activities. Some projects, like anything that has to do with animals, are hot and fill up faster than others. Clicking on the individual project listing will provide a detailed description and, more importantly, the geographical location/zip code. Trust me, the easier it is to get there, the more available and willing you are to enjoy the event, maybe even on a weekly basis.

    I've volunteered twice so far through LA Works: helping paint preschool walls at the Westside…read moreChildren's Center, and Toddler Time at LA Family Housing. It was easy to sign up for both events; the respective coordinators got back to me quickly, and I had a wonderful time. You really do feel like a part of the community when you help out your fellow residents. Many people say they wish they could set aside time to volunteer, and I'd just like to tell them that it doesn't take any effort just to ask how you can help, and the rewards are neverending. I look forward to helping out with future events. Thank you again!

They offer classes that provide skills, to get you work ready with a professional attitude to get and keep a job. The classes also include preparing your cover letter, your resume, doing a mock interview after you've had the help of a volunteer to improve, or write your resume. Upon landing a job, if you don't have clothes to look professional, they'll provide you with work clothes. There are weekly support groups for people who are already hired and others waiting to be hired. In those groups you can bounce off ideas and concerns off of each other and find tools to cope. They also host ongoing empowerment series for females. Among many things you can learn how to manage your time and money better, treat yourself kindly and improve as a person.
