East Side Riders Bike Club Feeds Hundreds in Watts Every Day

On any given weekday, John Jones III, founder and executive director of the all-volunteer grassroots organization, can be found on a street in this South L.A. community cooking, assembling, and distributing pancake breakfasts and prepared lunches to residents.

Anticipating widespread food insecurity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, East Side Riders Bike Club (ESRBC) launched a food-distribution program on March 16 and has since served more than 38,000 meals. The program has garnered attention from major media outlets and participation from public officials such as Joe Buscaino, the city councilman in that district. GRoW is honored to be a longtime supporter of East Side Riders and Jones.
