A dedicated network of volunteers at nonprofits, churches and shelters is trying to keep Los Angeles’ homeless communities fed during the global coronavirus outbreak.
These are some of the unusual new scenes across the Southland in the age of the coronavirus outbreak.“She came through and everybody got together and we decided to purchase enough pizza for four meals a week,” Bales said. An unnamed donor has since stepped up to supply the funds to purchase more pizzas. The shelter is also receiving twice-weekly meals from Subway and longtime supporter Porto’s Bakery.
“It’s a moment to sit down and enjoy one hot meal a day,” Bales said. “It’s a point of affirming people’s dignity. I’ve watched and they love to sit and communicate. During this pandemic, they want to cling to our place and humanity.” The Los Angeles Mission in skid row has also felt the effects of hoarding and social distancing, Chief Executive Herb Smith said. Although it received a donation from Veggie Grill and seven pallets of food from Staples Center, it has had to suspend regular meal service — a move Smith doesn’t “like, but it’s the only option we have.”

Gavin Newsom. When Mayor Eric Garcetti issued an emergency action completely shutting down city bars and closing dine-in service at restaurants in L.A., many food service workers were immediately put in dire straits.
