Dear Volunteer!
Each year we gear up to gift over 50 individuals (mostly young adults, youth and children) over the holidays. Gifts not only confirm and affirm in the warmest of ways the love and support we feel for each individual in the community but also sets families up to be well resourced with needs met as they enter a new year.
We are looking for individuals who are inspired to take up collection with their own networks and circles to gather cash (so parents can have the joy of shopping for unique gifts for their children), gift cards (good for teens who are hard to shop for!) and also specific items that we can then gift to each individual and family in the community.
Whether you are hoping to mobilize a large group or think you may want to contribute one or two gifts to a child or youth in the community you are welcome to join us in this gifting initiative which means the world to all of us here at Angelica Village.
Be in touch with interest and questions and know we would be humbled and honored for you to join us in this way.
Warmly,
All at Angelica Village

Mission Statement
Through love, care, and sustained mutual support, Angelica Village nurtures conscious community living spaces where people with special abilities, families seeking refuge from war and violence, individuals and families experiencing homelessness, and fellow community partners receive what they need and share what they can.
Description
Children and Youth Seeking Refuge from War: Youth are welcomed into the community as long-term community members and as the 'adoptive’ children of partners responsible for their direct care. Children grow up in the community until they are ready to transition fully into adulthood. Children will be supported socially, emotionally, spiritually and physically, as well as with education and generally adjusting to life in the United States. Once children have moved out of the direct proximity of the home they will continue to have the community as an extended family for their future.
Unaccompanied Youth and Families Exiting Homelessness: The community provides a place of refuge and support for three to five individuals and/or families whose circumstances have put them out on the street. This aspect is aimed at individuals who are wanting to engage in a larger community and parents who are working to create a stable environment for their children and are seeking support and guidance in their efforts. Households live in the immediate community for eleven months to two years. During this time, they are provided with comprehensive support including food, shelter, a therapeutic environment, emotional support, childcare, financial support, help finding employment, educational support and assistance finding and furnishing a permanent home. Once families resettle in a new home, they will remain integrated and supported by the community for as long as they desire.
