Do you enjoy cooking up some fun in the sun with your community?! If so, you should join this special collaborative event with us!
Together: We are partnering with Crete Academy in hosting a fun, resource-filled community festival. This collaboration will bring live music, good food, fun activities & games for everyone, local resources, services and new future volunteer opportunities to serve low-income families and unhoused people. This event serves a few hundred people in the south central Los Angeles area. This family-friendly gathering promises fun & activities for all ages. Come together for a day of well-being, connection, and joy!
Our area will be a place where our guests can feel welcomed, receive services such as job training, educational courses, clinic care, phones, legal aide, and much more!
What: Being friendly, ready to serve, and interacting with guests and volunteers are the main requirements!
Why this project matters: Our neighbors will be able to access services that improve their lives and enjoy their time as a community. When we work with fellow volunteers to meet the needs of our neighbors, our entire community benefits.
Wear: Please wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit dirty. Wear closed-toe shoes and leave your jewelry and bags at home. If you've volunteered with us before, feel free to wear your Better Angels T-shirt to show your support! If this is your first time volunteering, we will provide you with a T-shirt. Please include your T-shirt size in your profile.
What to bring: Water bottle or your favorite beverage, and sunscreen/ sun protection.
Age: All people aged 14 and up are welcome. We will have family-friendly activities.
