Do you enjoy working with positive people?
Are you ready to make a difference in the Palms community of LA, serving our neighbors?
Together: We'll be cooking and serving a warm meal, sharing various food, and government resources by pooling our energy and partnering with local service vendors. Your presence can help create a welcoming, supportive, and safer environment for our community.
Why this project matters: Our unhoused neighbors are not getting their basic needs met, which everyone deserves. They are deprived of nutritious meals, healthcare needs, and shelter. When we work with fellow volunteers to offer a welcoming connection and 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!
Tools: We will provide any necessary supplies.
Age: All ages are welcome. Teams with members younger than 14 will participate with their parent/ guardian.
What We Will Do
- Join the Better Angel group at the resource center. Look for our light blue T-shirts and our light blue sign
- Sign in and receive a Better Angels T-shirt, if needed.
- We'll meet up and chat about our plan for each volunteer shift duties.
- Connect with site manager (example: Church of Christ on-site lead)
- Opportunities include event set up, welcoming guests, supervising the cleanliness of the site, and being attentive to guests, vendors and partner satisfaction.
- Get the tools, supplies, and instructions you'll need to guide site guests.
- After: Connect with the resource day organizers to discuss your experience and other volunteer opportunities. If your shift ends before the end of the day, we would still love to hear from you via our brief survey. We will send this after the event.
