– Dr Irving I. Moskowitz

Since its founding in 1988, an estimated $9,381,536.27 worth of food has been donated by the Irving Moskowitz Foundation. Those who visit the Hawaiian Gardens Food Bank are greeted and allowed to receive produce items such as grains, canned foods, yogurts, juices, milk, breads, and tortillas just to name a few items. Registered clients of the Hawaiian Gardens Food Bank are eligible to receive weekly vouchers which they can redeem at their local grocery store.

The foundation works with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, which donates 40% of the food reservations. The Food Bank also help those who require skill training and require self-enrichment workshops.
