Athletes of all skill levels—including first-time competitors—are invited to compete in the snatch and clean & jerk while raising funds and awareness for neighbors experiencing food insecurity across Los Angeles County.
Whether you step onto the platform, cheer from the sidelines, sponsor an athlete, or donate from home, you can help turn athletic strength into community impact.
Strength With a Purpose
Hunger Action Los Angeles works to end hunger and expand access to nutritious food through food distribution, CalFresh enrollment assistance, Market Match, nutrition education, advocacy, and accessible food programs.
Proceeds from Strength Against Hunger will support HALA’s ongoing work with families, seniors, people with disabilities, immigrants, and other neighbors facing barriers to healthy food.
Every lift brings people together. Every donation helps move this work forward.
Compete and Make an Impact
Put your training toward a purpose. Participating athletes will compete in the snatch and clean & jerk and are encouraged to raise at least $250 for HALA.
Each athlete will receive a personal fundraising link to share with friends, family, coworkers, gym members, and other supporters. Gifts of every size are welcome.
New to competition? First-time lifters are encouraged to participate.
