Food for Thought: Extra food from those glamorous Oscar night parties will not go to waste, thanks to the End Hunger Network. As part of a program sponsored by the group devoted to increasing awareness of hunger, along with the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank’s Extra Helpings project, the unserved food will be donated to homeless shelters, soup kitchens and food pantries in Los Angeles, particularly in downtown’s Skid Row. Actor Jeff Bridges, who will present an Oscar tonight, is a board member of the organization and was active in setting up the program.
