Every Day Action Named Silver Winner in Third Annual Anthem Awards
Every Day Action Recognized in the Health Category for Its Significant Contributions to Fighting Hunger and Food Waste in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, Calif. — March 2, 2024 – Every Day Action is proud to announce that they have been selected as the Silver Award recipient in the Health category in The 3rd Annual Anthem Awards. The Los Angeles-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit received the accolade for its dedication to rescuing left-over gourmet catered meals from TV/film sets, select grocery stores, corporate events, food festivals, and more and delivering them to those in need: the local unhoused and under-resourced communities of Los Angeles struggling with food insecurity.
This year’s Anthem Award Winners were selected from a pool of over 2,000 submissions from 44 countries by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS). Anthem judges are intellectually diverse leaders from across the impact industry with expertise that spans across the Anthem cause areas. “The Anthem Awards were born out of the desire to amplify and celebrate the voices that are creating sustainable change and to inspire others to take action,” said Patricia McLoughlin, Anthem Awards General Manager. “In a year where so much is at stake, it is incredibly important to recognize impact work and celebrate the progress happening globally. Congratulations to all of this year’s Winners.”
Since launching during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Every Day Action has successfully reallocated over 180,000 meals and contributed significantly to alleviating hunger in Los Angeles. “Earning the Silver Award in the Anthem Awards marks a significant moment for our organization,” said Hillary Cohen, Co-founder and CEO of Every Day Action. “This recognition brings further awareness to our cause, and solidifies the importance of addressing food waste and hunger within the entertainment industry.”
This coming April, Los Angeles residents can support Every Day Action's mission at the much-anticipated 2nd Annual Recycle-ball Celebrity Gala. To learn more about Every Day Action’s upcoming event, please visit www.youreverydayaction.org/2024gala.
