Project Angel Food

Project Angel Food will utilize NMTC financing for the renovation of its existing 17,782 SF facility. The Project aims to expand PAF’s kitchen, storage capacity, and distribution facilities. The new campus and kitchen will enhance sustainability, operational efficiencies, and production flow, maximizing resources. Additionally, the new facility will bolster PAF’s wraparound services for clients and their families. Lastly, the new campus will feature dedicated space for PAF’s innovative research programs in nutrition security and health equity.

The project scope entails renovations on the first and second floors to expand the kitchen and enhance storage capacity. It includes the installation of new rooftop HVAC units, a complete roof replacement, the addition of a full sprinkler system for improved safety, and the installation of a transformer. The garbage area will also be expanded. No walls will be removed, and no additional square footage will be added.

Founded in 1989, PAF is a nonprofit organization that prepares and delivers over 1.3 million medically tailored meals annually out of this facility, at no cost to individuals with life-threatening illnesses in Los Angeles County. The Project will increase PAF’s capacity from 1.3 million to 3.12 million medically tailored meals prepared and delivered to 9,120 individuals each year.

With a focus on customized nutrition, the organization's registered dietitians work closely with clients and healthcare case managers to provide personalized dietary solutions. The kitchen efficiently manages 13 variations of each menu.
