FeedCulver Serves More Than 30,000 Meals To Food Insecure Locals

CULVER CITY, CA — FeedCulver started as a simple idea: neighbors helping to feed neighbors in Culver City.

It now goes beyond helping neighbors struggling with food insecurity in the pandemic — the organization helps feed neighbors, keeps restaurants in business and works to rebuild the community during this challenging time.

FeedCulver started back in 2020 in the early days of the pandemic and stay-at-home orders. It was a grassroots effort and partnership with the Exchange Club of Culver City Charitable Foundation, Culver City Chamber of Commerce, the City of Culver City and the Downtown Business Association.

The group has now delivered more than 30,000 meals to help food-insecure families in the city, according to Public CEO.

The group partnered with local restaurants, including Akasha, Auld Fella, Chica’s Tacos, City Tavern, EK Valley, George Petrelli Steak House, Harajuku Taproom, Lonzo's Restaurant, Mega Pizza Grille, Meet in Paris, Novecento Pasta & Grill, Pasta Sisters, Quicksand, Rockenwager Cafe, Rush Street, Sake House by Hikari, Taproom Pizza Com, Ugo, WeHo Sausage Company and Yalla Mediterranean Grill.

Sponsors include Amazon Studios, the Culver Studios, Cedars Sinai, Exchange Club of Culver City, Sony Pictures, Culver City Rotary Community Foundation, and several other organizations. Potential sponsors can still sign up to contribute via email: info@feedculver.org.
