Distribute Groceries and Home/Hygiene Essentials to Families in Need in South Central LA

Description

<div id="fullcontent1014315"><strong>Project: A Place Called Home "Family Resource Depot" Grocery Distribution</strong></div>
<div><strong>
</strong><strong>A Place Called Home (APCH) "Family Resource Depot" Overview: </strong>A Place Called Home has served South Central youth and families with its life-changing programs for 30 years.</div>
<div>In 2020, in the face of the coronavirus emergency, APCH quickly mobilized to respond to the urgent and ongoing needs of youth and families in our community who were already struggling with poverty and food insecurity.</div>
<div>Among other initiatives, we launched the Family Resource Depot, or "FRD", to provide groceries, hygiene products and other household necessities to our families in need on a weekly basis.</div>
<div>As of January 2023, APCH has provided more than 800,000 meals for families in need through our FRD initiative.</div>
<div><strong>As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, families within our community continue to experience financial struggles and food insecurity. APCH remains committed to continue to provide fresh produce and other essentials for our families every week.</strong></div>
<div><em><strong>This is where our wonderful APCH volunteers come in!</strong></em></div>
<div>

<strong>Project Description: </strong>Volunteers distribute pre-packed grocery and hygiene/home supply bags to families from the APCH community. The APCH team guides volunteers throughout the project. This is an active project that may include light-heavy lifting, bending, walking 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.
