Eats to the Streets

Street Vendor Partnership Program

We're purchasing food from street vendors who aren't safe on the streets, and serving the food to our unhoused neighbors.

The heightened presence of ICE in Los Angeles is close to home for all of us at NoHo Home Alliance. When the raids started, we saw an opportunity to direct our resources to meet two needs, in service of each other: we feed 100 people each day, and our immigrant community members have food they want to sell but cannot. 

Thanks to the overwhelming response from our community, we are making Eats to the Streets a sustained program, purchasing from street vendors while feeding our unhoused neighbors, for the next year.

Each month, we purchase food/meals from street vendors in the San Fernando Valley — from burritos, to nieve de garrafa, to tortas — and serve it to our guests at our Drop-In Access Center.

If you are interested in duplicating our efforts at the personal level (event catering, group ice cream party, whatever you’d like!), we encourage you to seek out vendors in your local area and work with them. If you are in the East San Fernando Valley area, reach out to us. With our vendors’ permission, we are delighted to share their businesses with trusted community members.
