Beginning in January of 2024, Hollywood Food Coalition, Farm2People, Polo’s Pantry, and APIFM began a series of monthly meetings to explore the possibility of collaborating on a shared community food hub concept in Los Angeles. Remy de la Peza expertly facilitated these meetings, helping guide the collaborative through a complex process of identifying needs, establishing shared goals/vision, and reviewing governance structures.![]()
