Addressing Food Insecurity for Our Immigrant and Refugee Neighbors
In the heart of LA County’s largest immigrant and refugee community—Koreatown/Westlake—our Community Gardens & Urban Farm (CGUF) provides fresh foods including organic fruits, vegetables & herbs to our neighbors facing food insecurity. We feed thousands of our immigrant and refugee neighbors while also providing habitats for birds, pollinators, & other creatures. We dream and create a community of joy and shared abundance by re-defining our urban footprint through ecological, non-chemical practices that build healthy soils, food, and bodies.

Community Gardens & Urban Farm at the Cathedral
Integral to FCCLA's commitment to integrating ecological and equitable practices with spiritual wellbeing, our Community Gardens & Urban Farm grows organic, regenerative food for participatory community cultivation and distribution and organizes free classes in urban gardening & food security— composting, seed saving, food preservation, nutrition, and more. Providing fresh, nutritious foods for nearby food insecure and underserved communities, the project also serves as a teaching garden for students of Pilgrim School, located at FCCLA.
