LOS ANGELES, More than 150 of Los Angeles’ best restaurants, caterers, wineries, florists, and entertainers will gather at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on Thursday, March 3, 2005, for Planned Parenthood Los Angeles’ (PPLA) popular Food Fare, one of the agency’s largest annual fund raisers.
Started in 1979, Food Fare has become the oldest and one of the most recognized food events in Los Angeles. Food Fare 2005 is an opportunity for restaurant enthusiasts, Planned Parenthood supporters and the general public to sample the finest food and drink that L.A. has to offer, all in one place. Restaurant critic, recognized author, and radio host Merrill Shindler exclaims; "Meals on Wheels may be better known. But for sheer culinary pleasure, there’s nothing like the Planned Parenthood Food Fare — a tribute to the tasty culinary diversity of LA!"
In addition to offering great cuisine, Food Fare will feature a silent auction with arts and crafts, vacation packages, sporting and entertainment event tickets, fine art from local artists, and gift certificates from L.A’s best restaurants.

Food Fare raises funds to support health care services, responsible sex education, and advocacy programs. Last year’s Food Fare drew more than 1,600 people and raised $500,000 for the agency. Food Fare is produced by the Planned Parenthood Los Angeles Guild, a group of 200 women who are dedicated to providing financial and volunteer support for PPLA. Since the group’s inception more than 20 years ago, the Guild has raised over $5 million for PPLA.
