Share Your Talent
Do you have a talent or skill that you would like to share with our residents? They would love to learn it! Recent activities include filmmaking and journalism workshops, singing lessons, sewing and cooking instruction, sports club and dance classes.
Collect & Sort Donations
Hold a drive for much needed hygiene items with your school or community group, then come to LAFH to sort the collections that will be distributed to our residents.
Prepare Resident Baskets
Prepare “Welcome” baskets for all of our incoming residents and “Good Luck” baskets for those transitioning to permanent housing that contain essential household items like toothpaste, deodorant, and cleaning supplies.
Birthday Parties
Host an on-site monthly party for all of the kids living in our shelters whose birthdays are in that month. Bring a treat and plan some games or activities for a fun afternoon.
