Do you enjoy working with positive people?
Are you ready to make a difference in the Huntington Park area serving our unhoused neighbors?
Together: We'll provide a warm meal and resources to our unhoused neighbors by partnering with local service vendors, Inner City Vision and New Start Housing. Your presence and volunteering will help create a welcoming, supportive, and safer environment for our community.
Why this project matters: Our unhoused neighbors will get some urgent needs met, which everyone deserves. Inner City Vision regularly serves Huntington Park's unhoused neighbors, which consists of former gang members or low income families! By partnering with Inner City Vision and New Start Housing to host the resource day at their facilities, we will be able to have the space to invite more local resources for their guests to access at this location. We strongly believe that when we work with fellow compassionate, volunteers to meet the urgent needs of people living outside, our entire community benefits.
Wear: Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. If you've volunteered with us before, feel free to wear your Better Angels T-shirt to show your support! We will be outside, so wear a hat or sunscreen as well.
Tools: We will provide any necessary supplies, tools, and gloves if you need them.
Age: All ages are welcome. Teams with members younger than 14 will participate with their parent/ guardian.
