Horvath announced $201,500 in Third District investments this month to expand access to nutritious food and support community organizations responding to unprecedented levels of need. Despite the federal authorization of SNAP benefits last week, many households are still confronting the fallout of political delays that forced families to ration food, skip meals, or choose between groceries and rent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u201cNo one in Los Angeles County should have to navigate hunger because federal help came too late. The fear and uncertainty families have carried these past weeks matter, and our response in LA County is meeting that reality with nourishment,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath<\/strong>. \u201cThis significant investment in food security is one step \u2014 and we will continue strengthening this support so every person has the dignity of reliable care.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Third District is also supporting additional food distributions hosted by community-based organizations across the region. These efforts reflect a broader County focus on strengthening the food safety net so families have reliable access to nutritious food during a season centered on gathering and gratitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>PUBLIC EVENTS SUPPORTED WITH THIRD DISTRICT FUNDS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Tuesday, November 25, 2025 | 8:00 AM \u2013 1:00 PM<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Valley Community Healthcare \u2013 \u201cValley Gives Thanks \u2013 Presented by Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, 3rd District<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">North Hollywood Clinic | 6801 Coldwater Canyon Ave, North Hollywood, CA 91605<\/span><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Tuesday, November 25, 2025 | 1:00 PM \u2013 3:00 PM<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Open Arms Food Pantry \u2013 Thanksgiving Distribution<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Fairfax Senior Center | 7929 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Thursday, November 27, 2025<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Westside Thanksgiving Community Dinner &amp; Celebration<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>West LA Civic Center | 1645 Corinth Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90025<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In partnership with the LA Regional Food Bank and the Los Angeles County Chief Executive Office, the Third District is supporting two large-scale holiday food distributions, on November 20 at The Church On The Way, and November 26 at the San Fernando Swap Meet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES, CA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Los Angeles County Supervisor&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ca-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77452"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77452\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77453,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77452\/revisions\/77453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=77452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=77452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
