Are you ready to make a difference in Skid Row, helping neighbors connect to services? If so, join us!
About this event
We are providing a warm meal and access to resources for our neighbors by partnering with a long-standing local service organization, the Inner City Law Center. We are supporting their annual connect day. (See photos from last year here >!) Your presence and volunteering will help create a welcoming, supportive environment for our community
Why this project matters
Our unhoused neighbors will enjoy a warm meal and be able to meet with many different local non-profit and government service providers. Enjoying community while getting support to meet your needs and reach goals in an efficient, welcoming space makes for a wonderful day.
When we work with fellow volunteers to meet the urgent needs of neighbors living outside or inside, our entire community benefits.
