Bring Families and Friends to Make Welcome Kits for Newly Housed Angelenos
L.A. Works' AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP + FAVE programs are joining together to bring you this fun intergenerational volunteer event! We will be putting together 400 Welcome Home Kits for recently housed individuals served by Alexandria House & Depaul USA.
Why: Moving into a new home is an exciting time for many, but for those who have recently overcome homelessness, the transition to permanent housing can be daunting. Despite ongoing support, affording basic necessities remains a challenge. You will make a meaningful impact by putting together a welcome home kit, offering individuals the support they need to settle into their new homes with comfort and dignity.
Who: Alexandria House provides safe and supportive housing for women and children in the process of moving from emergency shelter to economic stability and permanent housing. Depaul USA Casa Milagrosa provides a warm and welcoming refuge for up to 140 homeless people daily near MacArthur Park.
What to Expect:
- Fun, outdoor event for the whole family! Rain or shine!
- Bring your partners, kids, parents, grandparents or friends and bundle a kit, or two!
- Each kit donated will go directly to someone moving into their new home.
- Towel Drive: Consider donating towards our new towel drive.
What’s Required:
- Minors under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult
