Homeboy Industries went on to say, “ Our staff was thrilled to work alongside them as they helped prepare food and learned more about our newly launched #FeedHOPE program, which employs our program participants to provide meals to food-insecure seniors and youth across Los Angeles in the wake of the #Covid19 pandemic.” 

Homeboy Industries, which was founded in 1986 by pastor Gregory Boyle, provides resources to former gang-involved men and women. The organization heavily focuses on education,  counseling, job training, legal assistance and more.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were just “Harry and Meghan” to the homies. They rolled up their sleeves and deeply engaged with our workers in the Bakery and Café” said Father Greg Boyle.
