Locations are found in most neighborhoods in L.A. If you want to spend slightly more but get food of extremely high quality, including health foods, vegetarian foods, etc. go to Trader Joe's, which is a corporate chain but which is known for treating its employees well. Trader Joe's locations tend to be found in upper income areas of Los Angeles (although, curiously, there is no Trader Joe's in Beverly Hills, despite its presence in similar areas).<br> + <br> + Many churches have food banks. It is best to ask about this.<br> + <br> + Missions, due to misguided city policies, tend to be concentrated in downtown L.A. While parts of downtown have become gentrified, there are still large parts of downtown that live up to the area's reputation as one of the most dangerous areas in the Western United States. Missions such as the Midnight Mission and the Catholic Worker are located in sections of downtown that are dangerous even during the day. There are also facilities to help the homeless and poor located in Hollywood and Santa Monica ; while the latter city is generally quite safe, its inhabitants (generally upper middle class and middle class and mostly white) are known for being extremely hostile towards those who look obviously homeless, and there have been reports of homeless looking people having bottles thrown at them, being harrassed, and having been run over by brand new SUVs. Nearby Venice also has some facilities to help the homeless, however gang members (both local and from other neighborhoods) have been known to rape and kill homeless looking people as part of initiation rituals at night. Use caution unless you look "respectable" (which means little more than not looking obviously homeless in generally tolerant Venice).<br> + <br> + Food on Foot (food and clothing handouts)<br> + <br> Sundays in Hollywood @ 3:15 P.M.<br> + <br>1625 N.

However, it is slowly improving after years of neglect.<br> + <br> + The Blue Line light rail connects downtown with Long Beach, and the Gold Line light rail goes to Highland Park and East L.A. The MTA bus lines go down most major east-west streets and many north-south streets. Due to Los Angeles County being filled with a number of different municipalities, there are also other bus lines ; San Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit in the San Gabriel Valley, and the Culver City and Santa Monica bus lines on the West Side.<br> + <br> + == Free Clothing and Furniture ==<br> + <br> + <br> + == Assorted Freebies ==<br> + <br> + Salvation Army<br> + <br>900 WEST JAMES M WOOD BLVD<br> + <br>LOS ANGELES, CA 90015<br> + <br>213-896-9160<br> + <br> + == Survive ==</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
