Celebrate this 4th By Giving Back

Our second annual “Let’s Send Hunger Packing” summer food drive, in partnership with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, to feed hungry children in Los Angeles and Orange Counties is off to an amazing start! The Coldwell Banker teams across the two counties are busy collecting food donations, but they need your help.

The LA Food Bank serves 400,000 children in need each year, however they depend on the donations made by our communities. So while you shop for your 4th of July BBQ please think about our hungry children and grab a few more items. It can be as simple as crackers to pasta. Checkout a list of needed items below. You will be making a difference in the life of a child and celebrating our great nation!
