Who's hungry?

Between now and lucky Friday the 13th (April 13, 2012), our supporters can enter the Hungry for Justice raffle for a chance to win a packet of 20 gift certificates for a meal for two from our restaurant partners, valued at over $1,000.  This is not just for L.A. folks!!  At least half of the certificates are for chain restaurants located throughout the country; the rest are located in Los Angeles County.

How it works: every $5 donated buys, you one ticket!

• $10  = Two entries
• $1,000,000 = Two-hundred thousand entries!!

You decide how hungry you are!
