Hollywood Food Coalition

Hollywood Food Coalition’s Community Exchange is a free, concierge food service aimed at providing small to medium-sized social service nonprofits the food they need, when they want it, so they can focus on their missions.

As a kitchen ourselves, we understand the struggle to find and acquire food in the right quantities and at the right time through the current food bank model. The Exchange is changing how all of that works. Our careful recipient intake and feedback process, paired with our innovative food rescue data-tracking system, allows us to create a concierge model that works better for all recipients.
