Project: To-Go Meal Preparation for APCH Youth Members
A Place Called Home (APCH) "Family Resource Depot" Overview: A Place Called Home has served South Central youth and families with its life-changing programs for more than 27 years. During these uncertain times, one thing is for sure: APCH is still here, resolved to serve our community in the midst of this crisis and beyond. In the face of the coronavirus emergency, APCH quickly mobilized to respond to urgent and ongoing needs of youth and families that were already struggling with poverty.
Since temporarily suspending regular operations on our campus, we launched (in addition to virtual programming, tutoring and mental health counseling): The APCH Family Resource Depot (or FRD -- https://apch.org/#fp_frd) to deliver groceries, household necessities, hygiene products and more to local families in need. Our FRD initiative provides hundreds of families with thousands of pounds of fresh produce and other essentials weekly.
This is where our wonderful APCH volunteers come in!
Project Description: This project takes place on campus at A Place Called Home. Volunteers bag prepared and packaged to-go meals that APCH delivers to our families via the following day's Family Resource Depot distribution. The APCH team guides volunteers throughout the project. This project includes standing and movement. The project does not require specific food prep experience/skills.

Mission Statement
At A Place Called Home, our mission is to inspire, encourage, and support the young people in South Los Angeles to achieve social, emotional, and economic success.
Description
A Place Called Home first swung open its doors in 1993 - a year after the LA Unrest, amidst a crime epidemic that rendered the streets of South Central unsafe for its children of any age. APCH’s mission was simple, but wrought with challenges: to provide gang-affected youth of South Los Angeles with a safe haven away from the life-threatening dangers and temptations of the streets.
Since then, a dynamic, multi-service youth and community center has evolved and grown on the corner of South Central Ave and 29th Street. For 30 years, A Place Called Home has been serving South Central youth ages eight to mid-twenties and their families through education and arts programs, mental health counseling, mentorship, job readiness, college scholarships, civic engagement, and more. At our core, we are still a place where young people who face tremendous challenges can experience the safety, joy, and opportunity that should be a part of every childhood.
