Lunch On Me

we would love to expand our programs by having an Atlanta chapter that will focus on mind, body spirit wellness. From holistic modalities to plant based foods. We want to give underserved communities the opportunity to have a higher quality of life, and wellness is the core to that. During a time of commercialized wellness, it’s still not allowing accessibility, we are changing that. And will continued to do that throughout the United States by meeting the need of those most in need. 

my name is LaRayia Gaston, I am the founder of Lunch On Me. When moving to Los Angeles I was Devastated by the third world country conditions of SkidRow. To see a wealth capital such as Los Angeles have some much abundance in select neighborhoods, resources were plentiful, the allocation of them were another thing. I knew I could bridge the gap, I knew there was a way to create unity within the culture of Los Angeles . So that’s what I did, I curated love, our slogan is Love Without Reason. We are focused on love being our root and source, for loves sake and nothing else. 

Food + Healing

LUNCH ON ME ISN’T JUST ABOUT FOOD. WE ARE A LOS ANGELES-BASED NON-PROFIT DEDICATED TO ENDING STARVATION WHILE PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES TO ENRICH THE MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT OF L.A.’S HOMELESS COMMUNITY.

LOM BRINGS NUTRITIOUS AND ORGANIC MEALS TO SKID ROW SIX DAYS A WEEK, EVERY WEEK, AND NOW REACHES 10,000 PEOPLE A MONTH. WE REDISTRIBUTE ORGANIC FOOD THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE WASTED IN ORDER TO CREATE DELICIOUS AND QUALITY MEALS. OUR PAST AND CURRENT INITIATIVES ALSO INCLUDE YOGA CLASSES, COMMUNITY PARTIES AND HEALING GATHERINGS FOR WOMEN. WE BELIEVE THAT RADICAL SELF-LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION FOR PERMANENT HEALING.

We are revolutionizing unity and empowerment for those who are broken and in search for hope. We are using our light to shine on the often invisible -LaRayia

what makes our work innovative is how high we have set the bar. Love is in the details. We bring it Into everything we do. From the quality of our food, to our patient and compassionate approach in our services. This is beyond a job, it’s a purpose, a calling of healing for everyone. We are radical in showing up for our community, by all means necessary. 

we are unifying many worlds that are separated. From ethnicity to economic classes. We are bringing everyone who believes in loving without reason together . It’s radical love and commitment. What makes Lunch On Me so unique is the way we have cultivated giving back. We have made it a vital way of life, and while we are showing up and doing our part in being the change, we are also having fun during the process.
