On Saturday, October 18, INCOSE-LA brought together 26 volunteers from all over the Southern California region to donate their time at the LA Regional Foodbank. Volunteers came from the INCOSE membership, as well as additional employees of Raytheon, Boeing, and JPL and their family members. The group, teamed with a group of young insurance executives, spent the morning assembling food kits that are distributed in LA County. In the span of three hours, the team filled 965 crates of food that will be given to those in need in our community. The LA Regional Foodbank is a nonprofit charitable organization that has been serving the disadvantaged for 35 years. They are at the heart of a charitable food distribution network that includes nearly 900 charitable agency sites in Los Angeles County. These food packages include canned fruit, canned vegetables, rice, cereal, and other non-perishable food items from their USDA food commodities donations.
