Lila Ramirez, a former recipient of community support, has dedicated nearly two decades to combating hunger at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. Her journey began with a temporary position, but her passion for helping others turned it into a lifelong mission. Recently, the Los Angeles Rams honored Lila with the pLAymaker award, presenting her with a $5,000 check to support the food banks efforts. Lila, who grew up in South Central Los Angeles, sees this recognition as a full-circle moment, reflecting her own experiences and inspiring her to create hope and opportunities for those facing similar challenges. The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, established in 1973, works to end hunger in the city by maximizing resources and volunteers to feed as many people as possible. Lilas mission extends beyond food distribution, aiming to provide dignity and stability to families through acts of kindness and community support.
