Our Sol Angeles family recently had the opportunity to spend a day at L.A. Kitchen. 

We spent the day assembling nutrition packed meals prepared from scratch right in the kitchen. It was such a great way to spend the day outside of the office! It's not often that all of us can work together so cohesively on a single goal. With a little elbow grease and a whole lot of laughs, we put together a couple hundred salads and fruit bowls ready to be sent out. 

Did we mention how great the food is? We caught Theresa, the Lead Cook and graduate of the program, whipping up some arugula pesto that could rival any restaurant in LA!

Rather than simply providing meals to those in need, they strive to create nourishing meals with reclaimed local produce deemed "imperfect" for grocers. So not only are they fighting hunger in the greater Los Angeles area, they are fighting against food waste.

Here's the impact they had in one year alone:
