Volunteer
We hope to see you at one of our events, we’ll welcome you with warm smiles, open arms, and maybe a hug (or 150+ of them!) Check out our past events for more information on what to expect with donations, location/parking, and our purpose for the day.
Becoming part of our family allows you to share moments of joy with the many families and their children living in Skid Row. We find these experiences imprint upon the life experiences of the less fortunate, simply by offering your service and a smile.
Enjoy Giving Back to the Community
When you volunteer at one of our outreach events, you will receive many hugs and a t-shirt, but more importantly, you become a member of our family. In one day, you will have the opportunity to experience the kindness and love we have for one another and the difference it makes in the lives of the families and volunteers.
A Loving Family
We understand that safety may be a concern. In order to ensure the well-being of our volunteers, we’ve partnered with the police department to offer constant patrols in the area, in addition to many incredible security volunteers standing by as well. Fortunately, our volunteers haven't experienced a dangerous or negative situation in our nine (9)+ years of service.
