The People Concern

Our dedicated volunteers are the lifeblood of many of our programs. Every day, we rely on the generosity of our community of over 1,550 volunteers who dedicate thousands of hours to our most vulnerable neighbors. We are looking for creative, passionate, empathetic individuals who are ready to positively impact lives and support survivors of domestic violence and our neighbors experiencing homelessness. We offer volunteer opportunities across several of our sites pertaining to homelessness and domestic violence. If you are eager to get direct training in social services, veterinary or global health, then check the link here https://lnkd.in/gPrHtCVV to find out how you can join our community of doers and change-makers!

At the South Los Angeles Recuperative Care Center (SOLAR), one of our interim housing sites, we are dedicated to creating a supportive and welcoming community. Since 2014, SOLAR has provided program participants with access to meals, full-time nursing care and more. SOLAR offers a safe place for people experiencing homelessness to stabilize after hospital stays and move towards permanent housing. SOLAR's success is due to the invaluable hard work and dedication of our staff and volunteers. It is thanks to them and supporters like yourself that people experiencing homelessness receive the care and assistance they need to move forward. The staff at SOLAR exemplifies the level of care it takes to make sure everyone is housed, healthy and safe.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, a pivotal moment in American history when the last enslaved individuals in the United States were finally freed. This day is a profound reminder of the end of a horrific chapter and a celebration of Black independence and excellence. As we commemorate Juneteenth with communal festivities, we must also reflect on the ongoing need for activism and education. By addressing racial disparities, healthcare inequalities, and prejudices, we can pave the way for a more equitable future. Our collective efforts are essential in creating inclusive spaces that foster unity and respect within our communities.
