Nonprofit Our Own Delivers Weekly Vegan Meals to the Hungry in Los Angeles
Local Los Angeles nonprofit, “Our Own,” provides vegan meals to the area’s hungry. The organization, which aims to increase access to resources for improved mental, physical, and emotional health for the underserved, feeds over 100 families in Los Angeles and surrounding communities each Saturday. To date, the group has distributed plant-based meals to thousands of individuals in addition to donating over 10,000 PPEs to hospitals, clinics, assisted living homes, and more.
Through their Relief Fund, Our Own supplies those in need with fresh produce, grains, and spices, supporting the health of those at risk during this difficult time.

Tammie has been with VegOut since its inception. Managing Editor and Maggie’s mom, she’s a former psychology professor who packed up her life and moved across the country from Michigan to California to follow a dream. Indie author, Mother Teresa-wannabe, and vegan for 18 years, she’s a big dreamer with a master’s degree in Developmental Psychology and an educational focus on well-being and thriving. When she’s not working through hyphens and commas, you’ll find her strategizing how to right the inequities of the world.
Tikkā is a northern Indian dish involving marinated protein or vegetables cooked in a tandoor, or clay oven. My version is made with marinated tofu baked on skewers in a conventional oven to mimic the traditional cooking vessel, which adds a char and smokiness to the dish. Using smoked paprika further pays tribute to the traditional cooking technique. This tikkā is best served hot with cooling mint chutneys and is delicious in lettuce wraps as well. For lettuce wraps, dice the tofu and vegetables into smaller pieces after cooking and fill the lettuce leaves just before serving.
The vegan singer appeared on the latest episode of Hot Ones, where she enjoyed vegan chicken from popular brand Daring and talked about her newest album, Special.
