洛杉矶地区食物银行联手公羊队筹得27万美元：约500名宾客赴宴，11年累计约170万美元
洛杉矶地区食物银行与洛杉矶公羊队合办的第11届 Taste of the Rams 筹款晚宴11月2日在 Inglewood 的 SoFi Stadium 举行，约500名宾客到场，共筹得27万美元，善款将用于洛杉矶县的饥饿救济。食物银行11月6日公布了这一结果。
这场晚宴已经办了11年，累计筹得约170万美元，相当于为面临粮食不安全的邻里提供约680万份餐食。食物银行通过600多家合作机构和自办发放项目，每月为超过110万人提供食物援助，而洛杉矶县目前约有四分之一的住户面临粮食不安全。
今年的名誉主席由公羊队球员 Kobie Turner、Kyren Williams 和 Steve Avila 担任，主要赞助方包括美国银行、Crum & Forster 和 Don Lee Farms。晚宴的菜品出自当地多位名厨之手，包括 Border Grill 的 Susan Feniger 与 Mary Sue Milliken 等人。
合作不会随着晚宴结束。食物银行与公羊队还将于11月18日和12月22日在 SoFi Stadium 再办两场社区食物发放，为假日季有需要的个人和家庭提供支持。食物银行总裁兼首席执行官 Michael Flood 说，这场晚宴提醒大家，社区为同一个目标聚在一起时能做成多大的事。这家食物银行已在当地服务50多年，收入的96%用于项目，并获 Candid 与 Charity Navigator 的最高评级。（来源：洛杉矶地区食物银行）
LA Regional Food Bank and Rams Raise $270,000 at Taste of the Rams: About 500 Guests and $1.7 Million Over 11 Years
The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and the Los Angeles Rams held the 11th annual Taste of the Rams fundraising dinner on November 2 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, welcoming approximately 500 guests and raising $270,000 to support hunger relief across Los Angeles County, the Food Bank announced on November 6.
Over its 11 years, Taste of the Rams has raised approximately $1.7 million, helping provide the equivalent of 6.8 million meals to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Through a network of more than 600 partner agencies and its own distribution programs, the Food Bank provides food assistance to more than 1.1 million people each month, at a time when about one in four households in the county faces food insecurity.
This year's honorary chairs were Rams players Kobie Turner, Kyren Williams and Steve Avila, and presenting sponsors included Bank of America, Crum & Forster and Don Lee Farms. Guests were served dishes by celebrated local chefs, including Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken of Border Grill.
The partnership continues beyond the dinner. The Food Bank and the Rams will host two more community food distributions at SoFi Stadium, on November 18 and December 22, for individuals and families facing food insecurity during the holiday season. Michael Flood, the Food Bank's president and CEO, said the event is a reminder of what a community can accomplish when it comes together for a shared purpose. The Food Bank has served the county for more than 50 years, puts 96 percent of its revenue into programs, and holds the highest ratings from Candid and Charity Navigator.
