About Plate by Plate
FOOD AS A CONNECTOR & A CATALYST
PbP-LA believes food is both a connector and a catalyst—capable of honoring heritage, elevating voices, and driving change with intention. The Plate by Plate gala is the signature event, with proceeds donated to campaign theme and partnership charity.
This year, Plate by Plate Los Angeles spotlights the people and organizations building stronger, more resilient AAPI communities from the ground up.
BEYOND THE “MODEL MINORITY”
The AAPI community is often seen as a single story—but the reality is far more complex.
Across Los Angeles and beyond, grassroots community-based organizations (CBOs) are doing the work that often goes unseen—but is deeply felt.
They are:
Trusted entry points for immigrant families
Providers of culturally competent, in-language services
Anchors of stability, connection, and growth
This year, PbP-LA is investing in these organizations—the ones building real impact at the community level.
