Gwenna Hunter is pioneering the way by opening the first Black woman-owned vegan food bank in LA.
Gwenna Hunter is passionate about her mission to provide healthy food for her community. She has found a unique solution to this problem through the Vegans of Los Angeles Food Bank. This is the first of its kind in Los Angeles and it specifically excludes animals from the menu.

"I wanted to give people what their bodies need: healthy food on a continuous basis minus our planet's animals," Hunter said in a statement. "We serve over 600 people in a single day within a 3-hour period once per month. It's really inspiring to see how much need and desire there is for plant-based nutrition!"

The Vegans of LA Food Bank is a vegan and Black-owned initiative with a mission to provide a vital source of nourishment for individuals and families in the community. It encourages visitors to "Build-A-Bag" of groceries from its selection of in-season, local farm fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, grains, beans, and other donated plant-based products.

The Food Bank has gathered support from donors such as All Vegetarian Inc., Califia Farms, Chobani, Omni Foods, and Just Eggs. Furthermore, it has used its blog to spread awareness of its cause through vegan podcasts, news, and events to educate the community and boost vegan representation in the media.

Hunter's tireless efforts are commendable. Her initiative is a much-needed initiative and it goes to show how much can be achieved when we all come together to help our local communities.
