Project Angel Food is Los Angeles’ leading non-profit provider of nutritional meals and counseling for people living with serious illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, HIV/AIDS, and renal failure. Borne in response to the AIDS crisis, today Project Angel Food provides its vital services for people suffering across a spectrum of critical diagnoses and reflecting the county’s diverse demographics. Informed by our belief in ‘food as medicine’, our healthy meals are medically tailored by our registered dieticians and chefs to meet the nutritional care required by our clients’ specific medical condition. Our clients, homebound and often living alone, are unable to shop and cook for themselves, and rely on Project Angel Food as a vital lifeline of nourishment and hope. Our drivers deliver more than food; they carry the message to those in greatest need that someone cares. Since our inception in 1989, Project Angel Food has delivered almost 9 million meals to over 15,000 people, a testament to the Agency’s ability to implement and sustain a successful home-delivered food and nutrition program over the last 25 years.

Big Sunday connects people through helping. We provide a wide variety of opportunities and projects that bring people together to improve lives, build community and give people a sense of belonging. We offer more than 2000 ways for people to help out, every year. And there’s all kinds of ways to help. You can: -Volunteer by working up a sweat doing manual labor. -Pitch in by offering some special skill you have. -Help out by spending time with someone who’d enjoy your company. -Give away gently used stuff like clothes, books, sports equipment or furniture. -Buy new stuff like food, school supplies, or socks and underwear. -Donate money to help in all kinds of ways. -These are all great and important ways to help, and all of them are always needed. One more thing: We have participants of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. They come from all kinds of different neighborhoods, and we do work in all kinds of different neighborhoods, too. People take part in Big Sunday projects through schools, faith groups, businesses, clubs, as families and as individuals. Whoever you are, whatever you do, we can use your help. You see, at Big Sunday, we feel there’s lots of work to be done – but we get so much more accomplished, and have so much more fun, when we do it all together.

Our Mainstage Season focuses entirely on new work We believe the development of new plays is an essential component of a thriving theatrical community, both here in Hollywood and in the Nation at large. THE BLANK has won every “Best Production” Award possible and received “Critic’s Choice” designations from every major publication in Los Angeles. Our Young Playwrights Festival has produced 220 plays by teen-aged writers in the past 19 years. Winning writers from across the Nation and every walk of life are offered the opportunity to work with a professional writer/mentor. Their plays are then brought to life by teams of seasoned professional directors and actors and each is given several public performances in a month-long Festival. Our Living Room Series is the very embodiment our commitment to develop new writers and new works. Each Monday night we offer a “workshop” production of a new play, free to the public. We offer audiences a rare glimpse into the creative process. Many of these developing works have gone onto full scale productions at THE BLANK, as well as other prestigious national theatres, to wide acclaim.
