I have noticed there are many young homeless children, with their homeless parents, in Southern California. I thought it would be nice to see how many would be interetsed in gifting a gift to a homeless or less fortunate child. You can put a big smile on a child's face this holiday season.
If you happen to see a less fortunate child during the holidays, consider gifting that child with the only gift they might receive for the holidays. It does take a little of your time, but making a child see life in a different way can make their thinking about life a much bigger and happier place for them. Giving during the holidays is what our holiday season is all about.
Consider giving the gift of respect, concern and happiness. It is such an amazing thing to do. Their reactions are very surprising, shocking, happy and extrememly thanksful that they were personally thought of my someone they do not even know.
This can be done for a needy child anywhere. Life is such a precious thing. Loving to give to a needy child is even more precious and watching a child's sadness turn to happiness is the most amazing exerience to have experienced.
We have not yet registered in the State of California:
The start date might be changed, due to transferring back and forth from state to state. It has been taking me some time to get everything registered in California State. As we learn of people interested in our organizations programs, we will know when we can post a specific meeting date. Send us an e-mail, if you would like to join our board, have students in need of community service hours and would like to help us bring California State some added ideas and programs. We would really like to learn more about how to go about getting land acerage donated to us, so we can provide our City of Challenges program to California.
The Big Hearts with Helping Hands organization was founded in 2003 and received their IRS tax exempt status in 2008. We empower abused, neglected, developmentally disabled, pregnant teens, single parents, homeless children and youth, as well as have a wonderful seperate program to help put an end to the homelessness.
If the homeless in LA and Hollywood were placed in our program, it would bring work to the state. It will also help many students receive school and college credits, along with the opportunity to restore LA and Hollywood back to the condition many remember it looking like years ago. All we need are the land acerage donations, grant writing volunteers, working capital donations, volunteers and sincere time consuming, devoted volunteers willing to help make a big difference for so many people.
We want to help your locations find a better location for homeless people, trying to make their statements in all the wrong locations.

Many children have enjoyed receiving the beautiful handcrafted items donated from out of state and out of country. These past volunteers made such beautiful items. The children have enjoyed their handcrafted holiday gifts.
Volunteers are needed, crocheters, knitters, plastic canvas, sewers, beaders and loom knitters to help us make the holiday gifts. We make handcrafted toys, baby items, afghans and much more. All of the items we make are given to the less fortuante children as December holiday gifts, birthday gifts for their friends and for surprise good deed gifts. We handcraft items all year long for various holidays. For Easter we make baskets and Bunnies and put Easter Baskets together. WIn the past, we had provided 150 colored eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt. We also have public picnics to feed the hungry. We do this several times a year. Our last occassions were on Memorial Weekend and Independance Day. We had supplied all of the food and fed who ever showed up to eat, at no charge. We like to promote and provide the benefits of handcrafted gifts, new and used donated items, public BBQ events to benefit the community, disaster relief, older RV's to provide shelter and running vehicles for people to get the children to the doctors appointments. The vehicle is also used to transport chidlren to special, privte and out of district schools. Our "City of Challenges" goal needs a lot of support, including vendors to rent space at our year round crafting fair events.
Volunteers are needed for our fundraisers, helping to make the handcrafted toys by crocheting, knitting, loom knitting and/or sewing. We are also listed under Disaster Relief, food boxes, disability rights advocates, along with many other various types of services to benefit the communities needs. Office and Grant writer assistance volunteers are greatly needed! We greatly appreciate all of the volunteer assitance our community can help us with.
