Venice Family Clinic's Week of Action is a moment for everyone in our community to come together with acts of service and kindness to help those in need.
There are multiple ways to get involved during our Week of Action; Give, Create, Serve, Engage, Donate, and Share. Here is how you and your organization can get involved:
Give: Buy items that help keep our patients healthy and thriving.
- Shop our Amazon Wishlist to buy items that will help us help our patients like yoga blocks for their health and wellness, lens cleaning cloths for their vision visits, and clothing for our patients experiencing homelessness.
- Buy books for us to give to our pediatric patients. We especially need teen and preteen books, particularly featuring characters representative of our patient community. Check out our recommended book list.
- Buy holiday toys or host a new toy drive with your friends and family.
Don’t forget to shop using Amazon Smile and Amazon will donate .5% of your purchase price to us when you choose Venice Family Clinic as your charity.
Create: Create care packages for our homeless patients or school supply kits for our pediatric patients.
- In a gallon Ziploc bag, add hotel sized soap, shampoo, conditioner, razors, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, lotion, band-aids, and feminine hygiene products.
- In a backpack, add a pencil box, crayons, eraser, student scissors, glue sticks, pens, markers, notebooks, folders, and lined paper.
- Design homemade bookmarks to give to our pediatric patients.
- Make cheery handwritten holiday cards and notes that we will give to families.

Mission Statement
To provide quality primary health care to people in need.
Description
Over the past 50 years, Venice Family Clinic’s mission of providing quality primary health care to people in need hasn’t changed, but its scope has broadened dramatically. Today, the Clinic has about 400 staff members and more than 1,300 volunteers who serve 28,000 patients, without regard for their ability to pay or immigration status. Its programs have expanded beyond primary medical care to include dental, vision, behavioral health, exercise classes, health education, early childhood development - and street medicine for people experiencing homelessness, to ensure even the most vulnerable of its neighbors get the medical care they deserve.
Our Volunteer Services Department strives to recruit and connect the best volunteers possible with almost every department within the clinic. We work to provide support to the volunteers as well as the clinic teams whom they help. Every year, we work with over 1400 volunteers, including approximately 500 provider volunteers. Our department helps with recruiting, training, scheduling, and general upkeep of all volunteers.
