everal food giveaways during May benefited Paramount residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 4,500 people received food. On May 1, the Association of Guatemalan Fraternities joined with Re/Max Real Estate, Lifegate Church and the Paramount Chamber of Commerce for free food distribution at the church in a drive-through. Chamber Ambassadors and staff helped hand out food. In the Bianchi Theatres parking lot on May 9, the City of Paramount teamed up with the non-profit organization A World of Compassion in a food drive. Volunteers included members of Emmanuel Reformed Church and MUSA Moms. Adrian Landa represented the office of California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon at the event. Another drive-through food giveaway took place on May 28, once again in the Bianchi parking lot, as a collaboration among the County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Paramount Entertainment Center and Los Angeles County Library. County disaster service workers handed out food to more than 2,400 people.
Thank you to all our volunteers who came out to help our community!
