Flair Cleaners is hosting our 5th Annual Flair Cares Food Drive, Hang Up Hunger, now through 29. The drive benefits the Westside Food Bank, the North Hollywood Interfaith Food Pantry, and the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry. Flair is matching donations up to 1,000 pounds of food donated at each location. All customers who donate will receive a coupon for 50% off dry cleaning on a future visit.

“Nearly 30 percent of low-income individuals in Los Angeles County struggle with food insecurity. As a result, they don’t know when they’ll get their next meal,” said Gary Futterman, owner of Flair Cleaners. “We believe that no one should go hungry, which is why we are committed to collect as much food as possible. And, we will match donations up to 1,000 pounds per location, during our 5th Annual Flair Cares Food Drive.”

What To Donate

Flair customers and community members may bring unopened, non-perishable commercially prepared, canned or boxed food to any Flair Cleaners – Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Studio City, or Valencia. However, we do not accept food that has passed its expiration date or items in glass jars For a complete list of the food items needed by local pantries, visit Flair Cleaners’ Facebook page.

Flair will deliver donations to the following charities:

• Westside Food Bank is an independent nonprofit corporation that provides food, which enables low-income people to stay in their homes, deterring the problem of homelessness, and saving them from making the agonizing choice between paying for rent or food when they can’t afford both.

• Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry strives to alleviate hunger throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. Their dynamic group of volunteers sources donations, packages nutritious food, and distributes it to qualifying residents.

• Established in 1983, the North Hollywood Interfaith Food Pantry is a 100% volunteer coalition of diverse religious institutions working together to address the problem of hunger in the community.
