Dignity Health – Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center (GMHHC) hosted a month-long food drive during June’s National Pride Awareness Month to benefit the clients served by the food pantry at the Los Angeles LGBT Center. Hundreds of hospital employees came together in a show of humankindness by donating specific items to meet the growing needs of Los Angelenos facing food insecurities.

“GMHHC celebrates the diversity of our communities and recognizes the importance of raising awareness,” stated Jill Welton, GMHHC president. “As a community hospital, we value and understand the work of the LGBT Center in keeping people healthy, and it’s our privilege to deliver nutritious meals that contribute to overall wellness.”
