LOS ANGELES (Oct. 14, 2026) — Philanthropist and Creative Artists Agency (CAA) Co-Chairman Kevin Huvane is making a transformational impact with Project Angel Food once again with the donation of the organization’s 17th van. Even more powerful, this van is dedicated to Huvane’s late father, Martin “Pop” Huvane, and will help deliver thousands of meals to critically ill clients all throughout Los Angeles County.

The new electric van was unveiled during a ceremony at CAA’s Los Angeles offices on Wednesday, Oct. 14, and features a tribute to Martin “Pop” Huvane with his image and a quote that says, “In loving memory of Martin “Pop” Huvane, whose big heart, quick wit, and unwavering integrity brightened the lives of everyone who knew him for nine remarkable decades.” The ceremony was attended by members of the Huvane family and friends, as well as Project Angel Food CEO Richard Ayoub and Chief Development Officer LaShanda Maze. It is the first electric van in the organization’s history.

“My father, Martin “Pop” Huvane, believed in showing up for people and helping wherever he could. Project Angel Food does that every day, delivering not only meals but also compassion and connection to those facing serious illness. Pop would have been delighted to know that this gift helps bring the organization's first electric delivery van into service, allowing them to reach even more people in need. Honoring him through an organization that so beautifully reflects his values is incredibly meaningful to our family,” Kevin Huvane, Co-Chairman, (CAA) said.

“The Martin “Pop” Huvane van will travel throughout all of Los Angeles County delivering not only lifesaving meals, but hope and love to our often-invisible neighbors. It will be part of a fleet that delivers more than 1.5 million meals every year, and it's the second van Kevin Huvane has donated to Project Angel Food, our first electric van,” Ayoub said.

Martin “Pop” Huvane was a devoted husband, father of six, grandfather, and proud New Yorker whose hard work, generosity, and commitment to family shaped generations. Married to his beloved wife, Genevieve, for 46 years before her passing, Pop worked for the New York City Transit Authority, Encyclopedia Britannica, and owned a neighborhood deli, all while creating a home centered on resilience, compassion, and opportunity. Together, he and Genevieve encouraged their children to pursue their own paths while instilling the values of integrity, kindness, and service to others, a legacy that lives on through their family and all who knew him.

The Martin “Pop” Huvane van is the 17th in the Project Angel Food fleet, and the second van donated by Huvane after previously dedicating a van in 2024 in memory of his late brother, and talent manager, Chris Huvane. The electric van will be able to travel up to 130 miles on one single charge with enough meals and supplement bags for up to 50 clients every day. The van joins a fleet that services more than 2,600 clients every day across 92 routes and 130,000 meals per month, including traveling an astounding 220,000 miles annually across 4,751 square miles of LA County.
