St. Margaret's Center is taking on obesity and disease prevention through Nutrition Education!
Through the SNAP Education (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) program, the center will be offering free classes to encourage impoverished members of our community improve their eating and physical activity habits. We reach mainly SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps) eligible low-income participants, who are at greater risk of developing preventable chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
We are looking for artists and designers to take on projects in the making and develop visual, impactful ways to reach these communities effectively. We believe that through interactive and informative art we are able to make a greater impact on our community’s eating and physical activity habits.
If you would like more information about this initiative or if you want to apply for this opportunity feel free to contact me, Victor M. Orozco at vorozco@ccharities.org or by phone at (310) 672-2208.More opportunities with St. Margaret's Center

Mission Statement
St. Margaret's Center's goal is to provide relief, dignity and support to low-income persons in crisis and to assist individuals through case management and skills development to become more self-sufficient and to achieve economic security
Description
St. Margaret's Center, a program of Catholic Charities of Los Angeles Inc., has served low-income and homeless families since 1987. The Center provides a comprehensive range of emergency and supportive services to more than 10,000 unduplicated individuals annually in the Los Angeles "L.A.X." area, primarily those living in the cities or streets of Lennox and surrounding communities.
St. Margaret's Center's mission has remained the same throughout its history, but the Center's programs have grown and evolved to respond to the needs of the community. St. Margaret's Center's programs target individuals and families who live at or below the poverty level. Programs are offered in both English and Spanish, and are free of charge, with the exception of nominal fees for immigration and counseling services. The Center provides assistance to anyone in need, regardless of the person's race, national origin or religious affiliation.
