Hollywood's Project Angel Food celebrates serving 15 million meals to those in need

HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Project Angel Food, the Hollywood-based organization that's been delivering meals to those living with a critical illness for more than 30 years, celebrated a milestone Thursday.

Volunteers broke into applause as the 15 millionth meal came out of the kitchen.

That meal was delivered to Vernal, a former homeless client who will soon become a driver for Project Angel Food, delivering meals to others.

"When we say 15 million, you have to think that every single meal was done one at a time, with people power and fueled by that love and energy by our volunteers and chefs," said Richard Ayoub, CEO of Project Angel Food.
