“Project Angel Food truly captures the essence of compassion and community, creating a profound impact on the lives of many individuals and families throughout Los Angeles County,” Kevin said in a statement. “By delivering nutritious meals to those in need, they not only nourish bodies but also uplift spirits. It is an honor to support their mission in memory of my beloved brother, Chris Huvane, who was a guiding light for me and so many others.”
The van features a photo of Chris along with a tribute reading, “In loving memory of Chris Huvane. May this van carry his legacy on every journey. Love always goes the distance…”
Chris was a manager and partner at Management 360, where his client list included Chadwick Boseman, Margot Robbie, Julianne Moore, Zoey Deutch, Zach Braff and Henry Winkler. Before joining Management 360 in 2010, he had established a career in public relations and served as senior west coast editor for GQ magazine. Born in New York on June 29, 1974, Chris died by suicide in 2022 at the age of 47.
“There’s no better way to honor a loved one than to sponsor a van that delivers lifesaving meals to people with critical illness,” Project Angel Food CEO Richard Ayoub said. “As Chris Huvane’s van travels through 4,751 square miles of L.A. County delivering 107,000 meals and hope a year, clients will feel the incredible energy of the person who made it possible.”
In addition to Kevin, several of Chris’ friends and family members were at the van unveiling, including his father Marty, nephew Declan and Kevin’s ex-wife Ruth-Ann.
The Chris Huvane van joins Project Angel Food’s fleet of 14 refrigerated vans, which deliver medically tailored meals to more than 5,272 critically ill individuals in Los Angeles County — with 2,700 people receiving meals on any given day. Serving clients across 74 routes, Project Angel Food’s drivers cover an impressive 195,000 miles annually, bringing more than 1.5 million meals each year to the doors of neighbors who are too ill to shop or cook for themselves across the county’s 4,751 square miles.
Project Angel Food is temporarily preparing and packing meals at its Lincoln Heights facility while construction is underway to build The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Campus. Once completed, this state-of-the-art campus will allow Project Angel Food to prepare and deliver three times as many meals.
