| About us | Extra Helpings Westside (EHW), our volunteer-run, food recovery and distribution program allows us to fight hunger even more effectively. Through a cadre of some 120 dedicated volunteer drivers, we are able to pick up prepared and perishable food from markets, delicatessens, bakeries and farmers’ markets – food that would otherwise be thrown away – and deliver it directly to our agencies. Food from our EHW program makes up nearly a third of our total distribution. |
