Every Tuesday, from 8 - 11:30am, our church, in partnership with the North Hollywood Home Alliance and several local religious communities hosts a drop-in program for our homeless neighbors. We provide a comfortable place to relax under the shade in our front yard. We provide a breakfast of oatmeal or cereal and coffee. We set up a "charging station" for folks to power-up their devices. We open our "clothes closet" and distribute donated clothes and other items. The City of Los Angeles provides a shower truck. At the end of the morning we provide lunch. Occasionally, service providers from LA County will join us to offer more comprehensive social services.
Every Sunday our congregation collects donations of canned goods and other foods in support of this community program housed at the First Christian Church.
UU the Vote is a nonpartisan civic engagement initiative focused on strengthening democracy and organizing for justice, accountability, and healing.
If you would like to participate in the committee or have questions, please contact Brent Kado.
The Shared Earth Project is an organic vegetable garden and fruit orchard on our church grounds established with the goal of growing food to donate to the local Interfaith Food Pantry and more recently to supplement the food prepared for the Tuesday Homeless Drop-in program. If you would like to join our team of dedicated volunteers, we’d welcome you at our meeting and work party at 9:00 AM on September 28! We’ll meet in the vegetable garden. Contact Mary Sager McFadden for more information.
