NBC4 and Telemundo 52's Help for the Hungry sixth annual campaign returns from November 20 through December 31, 2023 to support local food banks and help provide meals to families in need throughout Southern California.  Viewers can support the fight against hunger and donate any amount by texting H4H to 41444 or in person at their neighborhood Ralphs and Food 4 Less supermarkets.  A QR code will also appear on screen during newscasts to give viewers another option to donate.

One hundred percent of donations collected will go directly to regional food banks and local food pantries in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties including Los Angeles Food Bank, Second Harvest Orange County, Feeding America Inland Empire, Food Share Ventura County, and Foodbank of Southern California.

Community members received food and toys at NBC4 and Telemundo 52's Help for the Hungry food pantry in East Los Angeles on Friday, Dec. 15, 2023.
