Every Day Action is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to re-allocate the food waste on film sets directly to those living on the streets of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and the San Fernando Valley. Founded and run by two DGA Assistant Directors, donating leftover food from production has never been easier.
We safely, swiftly, and seamlessly coordinate meal pickups from both studios and locations, provide food packaging, and transport meals directly to LA's most needy. We work 24 hours a day from breakfast to lunch to dinner (yes, even 3rd meal). We know the film industry intimately, so discretion, safety, and speed are our top priorities. We employ production assistants and background actors as pick up/drop off coordinators while in between jobs, and our board members are working professionals who work in the entertainment industry and volunteer sectors. All of us together can make a huge difference in the lives of LA’s most vulnerable.
