"Without the help of partners such as Phusion Projects, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank would not be able to continue providing food to over one million residents of Los Angeles County every year," said Michael Flood, president and CEO, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. "We are extremely grateful for their generous donation and willingness to come in and volunteer." 

"Giving back to the local community and dedicating time to help others is very important to Phusion Projects," said Jeff Wright, one of the company's co-founders. "The combination of our efforts at the Food Bank and the financial donation from the company will provide a large number of meals for the Los Angeles community."

The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is a nonprofit charitable organization that is part of a food distribution network including more than 1,000 charitable agency sites. The organization has served the disadvantaged of Los Angeles since 1973. In 2010, more than 24,000 people volunteered to distribute 62 million pounds of food to the hungry in Los Angeles County.

This is Phusion Projects' sixth food bank volunteer day and donation in 2011. The initiative will continue once a month throughout the year in select communities.
