Why The Westside Food Bank?

The need for food assistance is at an all time high. One in six families now need help keeping food on the table which matches the nationwide average. In the U.S. 50 million people are unsure where their next meal is coming from with women, children, and minorities most impacted by food insecurity issues.

Annually, The Westside Food Bank distributes 4.5 million pounds of food to over 70 local social service agencies. For more information, please click here to visit their website. 

"Feeding Families One Sweet Treat at a Time!"

The Sugar & Stilettos Charitable Foundation raises awareness and funds for Los Angeles community food programs to help end the issues of hunger and food insecurity for all Los Angeles residents - regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality, ability and/or immigration status.

In early 2009, Nanci Christopher put together a small baking club in the hopes of sharing family recipes and stories with close friends. Who knew that years later, this fondness for sweet treats would turn into a movement to help L.A. families in need. 

As a small grass-roots community organization, The S&S Charitable Foundation has established a close relationship with The Westside Food Bank -- the sole beneficiary of its efforts -- and continues to look forward to making a difference from its own backyard. 

What differentiates S&S from other organizations? Is it the tiaras? Sure. Is it the high-heels? Why not? Is it the custom sashes and crowing ceremony? Of course. 
Or is it the close-knit group of hard-working women who have grown into a family, volunteering their time to put together an experience that leaves their community feeling more supported and full of joy than ever before. Oh that? OOH LA LA!

The Sugar & Stilettos Charitable Foundation is proud to have donated over $500,000 (raised and disbursed)* in sweet sponsorships, in-kind donations, and Jewelry chance auction items since it's first Bake Sale Extravaganza for Charity in 2011 representing more than 2 MILLION MEALS provided!
