Kermes Fundraiser & Open House Volunteers
QUICK OVERVIEW
Help us set up for our Kermes Open House & Fundraiser as we welcome the community, donors, and new sponsors to our open doors as we show some of the work we have accomplished here at Depaul USA - Casa Milagrosa.
MISSION
Depaul USA is a national homeless service nonprofit organization and an affiliate of the international homelessness services organization, Depaul International Group. Celebrating over 12 years of working with homeless individuals across the United States. We aim to end homelessness and change the lives of those affected by it.
IMPACT
In 2022, the need for Casa Milagrosas services increased greatly with the increase of unhoused and unserved people living in the Westlake District and Greater Los Angeles areas. With your help, Casa Milagrosa will ease the lives of those in need. As of April 2022, Casa Milagrosa has provided 7,047 meals to our unhoused community. With your support, you can make the success of feeding more of our unhoused guests possible.
