Pack Groceries and Home/Hygiene Essentials for Families in Need in South Central

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: A Place Called Home

  • 8 people are interested



Volunteer with A Place Called Home and pack groveries and hygiene essentials for families in need!

Why: On a weekly basis, A Place Called Home's Family Resource Depot, or "FRD" initiative provides fresh produce and other personal necessities for 100 families within our community who are experiencing food insecurity or financial hardship - that means sorting and packing fruit, vegetables and shelf-stable foods to fill 100-200 grocery bags every week. APCH is able to carry out this project thanks to the ongoing genersoity and support of volunteers. Without volunteers, we would not be able to provide this essential support for APCH families.

Who: 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.

What to Expect:

Volunteers sort and pack fresh produce and dry/canned food to create 100-200 grocery bags for families from the APCH community.

The APCH team guides volunteers throughout the project. (APCH later distributes the completed grocery bags to APCH families the evening after the packing project.)

This is an active project that may include light-heavy lifting, bending and extended periods of standing. Please let the APCH team know if there is anything we can do to make the project more comfortable for you.

What's Required:

Volunteers must be 10 years or older; volunteers younger than 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian/chaperone

All volunteers must complete a volunteer waiver (provided to volunteers upon confirmation for this project) prior to volunteering at APCH

Participation in this project will not be finalized until the APCH Volunteer team responds to your form submission by contacting you directly to confirm project details. Thank you!

About A Place Called Home

Location:

2830 South Central Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90011, US

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 is a youth development organization offering a spectrum of services through after-school and summer programs, case management, and mental health support.

APCH 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.

At APCH, we envision a world where your zip code does not determine your future; where all children have the opportunity to find happiness and success in life. For more than 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.
