About Good2Go

Effective food distribution to families in need is more important than ever before. COVID-19 has taken a toll on hundreds of thousands of families in Los Angeles County who are struggling to put food on the table. Prior to the pandemic, an estimated 1 in 5 Angelenos were facing food insecurity. Between April and May, more than 1 in 4 (955,466 households) experienced food insecurity.

Whether it’s due to not having a car, a grocery store nearby, or the means to purchase, families continue to face the long-term impacts of inadequate food access. In addition to diabetes and high blood pressure, food insecure families are at greater risk for obesity, depression, and heart disease — making visiting food pantries a high risk activity. Despite an availability of food pantries, many families are unable to reach them due to a lack of transportation, lack of time, and the risk of COVID-19 exposure.

Each week, food pantries reach out to us and give us food deliveries to fulfill. Then, our team organizes the food deliveries and hands-off the information to our volunteer network. Every food delivery is completely contactless. Our team always does every food delivery route a week before a volunteer's experience to ensure that we provide in-detail instructions and ensure that the volunteer experience is safe.

We make weekly food deliveries for food pantries in Los Angeles. Throughout each week, we make about 200 food deliveries on behalf of 3 food pantries: Family Health Care Resources, Salvation Army, and Communities in Schools Los Angeles. Family Health Care Resources is a food pantry that helps low-income senior citizens, Salvation Army helps families, and Communities in Schools Los Angeles is working with at-risk LAUSD students and their families.
