Community Outreach with Share A Meal.
At Arrowhead Springs Nature Preserve & Retreat, we believe that connecting with the awe of the natural environment inspires us to connect with something bigger than our own personal interests. Motivated to be part of that something bigger, we are drawn to serve our communities with no expectation of something in return. In other words, selfless service. In 2009 the creators of Arrowhead Springs Nature Preserve founded a public charity in Los Angeles that serves free hot meals, water and humanitarian aid to the unhoused communities of downtown Los Angeles and surrounding cities.
At Arrowhead Springs Nature Preserve we are planning opportunities for interested guests to participate in community outreach by packaging humanitarian aid. These packs will then be distributed through the Share A Meal nightly meal service to unhoused communities. Packs of personal care items mean a great deal to recipients who otherwise struggle for basic necessities.
Share A Meal Program
The Share A Meal Café was created to help sustain and grow the Share A Meal Program.
The Café is located at 1433 W. Jefferson Blvd. just a few blocks from the USC University Park Campus. Countless dedicated USC, LMU and UCLA students volunteer to make the nightly meal service possible week after week. The proceeds of all Café purchases help support this much needed service to the community.

Our apologies. The following link is temporarily unconnected while we undergo maintenance on the Share A Meal Farm website.
Every item is grown with care and purpose — using sustainable farming practices that nourish the land and the community. From fruits and vibrant herbs to handcrafted goods, your purchase helps fund meals, basic needs and humanitarian outreach for those in need.
Share A Meal Farm was created to produce and sell sustainably farmed products that to help fund the Share A Meal Charitable Meal Program in a way that sustains the existing program and slowly grows the program to other cities that have expressed an interest along the way.
We were encouraged by the successful propagation of our initial pomegranate planting of 30 trees that over the years has grown to many hundreds of fruit producing trees. The orchard is irrigated by mother nature and natural spring water. Other tree producers are pear, apple, orange, tangerine, a few nuts and persimmons. There is also a small crop of lavender with intention to expand.
We plan to add an egg farm later this year for those of you who enjoy small family farm fresh eggs as much as we do. The eggs will be for sale at a future on-site farm stand for your convenience.
