When ashes still smolder, Los Angeles answers with heart. On Saturday, June 28, Project Angel Food’s Lead with Love, presented by City National Bank, returns to KTLA 5 — and screens nationwide — with an extraordinary lineup of stars united in support of neighbors impacted by January’s devastating wildfires. In addition, Lead with Love 5 has been nominated for a third Los Angeles area Emmy award today, Tuesday, June 3. The broadcast's renewal through 2026 underscores its ongoing importance and impact.

This year’s Emmy-nominated special features a pre-recorded message from EGOT legend Barbra Streisand (two Academy Awards®, five Emmy Awards®, ten Grammy Awards®, and a special Tony Award®). Joining her are late-night icon Jimmy Kimmel, Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer Annie Lennox, and Academy Award® winner Jamie Lee Curtis, Co-Chair of Project Angel Food’s expansion campaign, for an unforgettable evening filled with celebrities, emotional stories, and electrifying performances.‍

Lead with Love’s original hosts Eric McCormack and Jessica Holmes return, joined by five-time host Loni Love. Additional star power includes Sheryl Lee Ralph, Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham, Wilson Cruz, Ann-Margret, Lori Loughlin, Steven Weber, Cameron Mathison, and artist, author, and activist Mary Fisher.
