Do you enjoy collaborating with friendly people and making New Friends?
Are you ready to make a difference in Woodland Hills serving our neighbors?
Together: We are partnering with the non-profit New Friends to organize and host a festival of resources and support. New Friends has been helping our unhoused neighbors in the Woodland Hills and Encino area for the past 13 years. They have done a wonderful job working with church partners to cook and serve meals to the community. We are co-hosting an event to bring additional services and resources to neighbors and amplify their work!
What: The main requirements are being friendly, ready to serve, and interacting with guests and volunteers!
Why this project matters: Our unhoused neighbors will be able to access service and alleviate their suffering.
When we work with fellow volunteers to meet the urgent needs of 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.
Tools: We will provide all necessary supplies, decor, and activities.
Age: All ages are welcome. Children under 15 serve with their adults. We will have family-friendly activities.
