“The Angel Awards highlight the incredible individuals who inspire us and push our mission forward,” Project Angel Food CEO Richard Ayoub said in a statement on Thursday. “It’s an evening of celebration, appreciation, and unity, where we come together to support the work of Project Angel Food that provides nourishment for our vulnerable neighbors, delivers health and hope, and improves our entire community.”
The Angel Awards will be held on September 28 at Milk Studios, while construction is underway on Project Angel Food’s Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Campus. This new campus will double the size of the organization’s current facilities and triple their capacity. Project Angel Food prepares and delivers over 1.5 million medically tailored meals to 5,272 critically ill individuals in Los Angeles County every year. Since its founding in 1989, during the AIDS crisis by Marianne Williamson, Project Angel Food has delivered over 18 million meals.
The gala is made possible by presenting sponsor L.A. Care Health Plan, in addition to title sponsor Wells Fargo.
