Natalie Flores is the Executive Director and CEO of Nourish LA, a nonprofit that was started during Covid to help overcome food insecurity and prevent the excess from going to waste.

Natalie is also an Urban Gardener, a mother of two, and a wife. She loves bringing communities together around food, going to see live music with her family, and hiking all over Los Angeles. She sees valuable resources going to waste all over the city but knows that if we focus on regeneration, innovation, creativity, and community, we can help to redistribute resources that are desperately needed in other areas while creating better infrastructures that are deeply needed in our very own backyards. It starts locally!

Natalie is a person just like you! She believes we are all here to be of service to one another for the greater good of humankind. There is enough—there is more than enough—but we need to get moving and grooving if we are going to see our efforts grow in any direction. The key is to keep dancing.
