Project Angel Food

This role lacked adequate guidance and mentorship, with little constructive feedback to support skill development. Essential resources were unavailable, and limited access to detailed patient information hindered personalized, evidence-based care. Despite meeting performance expectations, my earned raise was withheld, which contributed to dissatisfaction and low morale. Workplace favoritism, including unequal opportunities for remote work, created an inequitable environment and restricted access to flexible arrangements. The absence of clear career advancement pathways further diminished motivation. Additionally, the role often shifted focus from clinical nutrition responsibilities to resolving food-related complaints, limiting opportunities to apply advanced skills. While the independent environment encouraged adaptability, the lack of support, equity, fair compensation, resources, and growth opportunities made it difficult to achieve professional fulfillment or deliver high-quality care. Addressing these gaps with improved mentorship, equitable policies, fair pay practices, defined career paths, and adequate resources would significantly enhance this role for future dietitians.

Project Angel Food has some very wonderful employees who are dedicated and who love what they do, unfortunately, those people never get promoted, raises, or stick around very long. The culture of Project Angel food is not productive or intellectually challenging at all, you sit and do the same thing every day with the same people who fight you when you want to move forward. 

Project Angel Food is not a nurturing environment for innovation, forward thinkers, or process efficiency.The majority of the directors are stuck in the past and cannot/will not think outside of their respective comfort zones to move forward and progress. 

As an agency with so many strong ties to the community and "friends," there is no reason for them to still be struggling and living hand to mouth so to speak. The fact that they have not expanded their ability to consistently bring in over 5.3 million per year and have had to do many layoffs in the past 5 years shows that there is something drastically wrong. The fact that Project Angel Food does not even have its own internal Finance department and must spend valuable mission funds on a third party vendor to keep it's bookkeeping straight speaks volumes.

I enjoy volunteering for Project Food. The organization is founded on the idea that serving for people with AIDS/HIV and other sickness across the Los Angeles County. Volunteers help out in many ways such as prep work, staff call, promoters, and some others in their own free time.
I start off by meeting with the rest of the volunteers, talk about their day and what's on their minds. Then we get on our gear ( apron, gloves, etc.) and and work on preparing food for the chiefs later on. This job varies from adding sauces such as BBQ on chicken to making smash potatoes and adding them on meals. 
Everyone come and go in volunteer work, however my co-workers are all very easy to work with;we have good cooperation with each other, so we did not have any problems. 
I don't think there is any part of the job where is difficult. Me and my co-workers are very cooperative, so there were no problems. The most enjoyable potion of the work is having a good time, me and my co-workers told stories of each other just to get by (as well as some jokes here and there).

This job was very different from any of my other past experiences.  Project Angel Food was my first professional work experience out of culinary school.  This company provides daily meals to people who are ill or cannot take care of themselves.  The food was basic but good.  This job was all about mass production which was something I really wanted to learn about.  I learned how much product was needed on a daily basis to feed 5,000 - 10,000 people per day.  The kitchen itself was filled with all sorts of different individuals including chefs and volunteers.  Everyone was there because they wanted to help people who couldn't help themselves which in turn created a very positive and friendly work space.

Project Angel Food provided an excellent opportunity to raise much needed funds for meal deliver for people living with life-threatening illnesses. Each day programs and events were created and implemented to further the agency mission of feeding 1,200 individuals throughout 1,500 square miles of Los Angeles County.

Any work that betters the lives and livelihoods of others is worthwile and fulfilling - especially within an environment of comraderie, passion and commitment.

Friendly work environment. Excellent foundation that helps providing meals for elders, unwell and disabled. Upon arrival the workers greet you with a smile and introduce you to other staff. After they announce to everyone what they'll be making. Then people are grouped together at stations. Finally they direct you on how to clean, cook and, prepare the meals for the day.
They do make sure that you have washed your hands properly and after they provide you with gloves, hairnet and apron. Before you begin to handle any of the food.

It seems at project angel food they really don’t value their employees. The pay is very low and it’s exhausting it never stops and the clients can be mean. The staff has no empathy or sympathy for their staff and what they have to go through. 

They pretend to be a really great company doing good for people but honestly they say this so you work hard for little pay. There is very little job security. Don’t waste your time it’s run very poorly.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good hard working team and food supports a very good cause for the Los Angeles community 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I haven't learned a stressed situation yet

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hard working staff,  great team work 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arriving in the a.m
 And working through the day

Relatively easy job-packing and delivering meals. Lifting heavy boxes and weather condition tolerance required. A very well known and wealthy nonprofit that severally struggles transitioning from a mainly volunteer based organization to fully staffed. Hardest problems are the losses of clients, communication between management and employees, and parking (street parking only).

This place has a great mission statement but the people who work there are not with the same heart and love for co-workers.  It a shame that employees talk bad about each other all the time but put on a face when donors or volunteers come to the facility.  I will never work there again.
