02/24: Serve Our Homeless Community - Inglewood

Do you enjoy working with positive people? Are you ready to make a difference in the Inglewood area serving our unhoused neighbors? Just 2.5 hours of your time can make a lasting impact in your community.

Register and view the volunteer roles and 2.5 hour shift details by clicking the following link: Click Here fore Registration Link - once you register, you will receive additional details for the day of the event.

Together: We'll provide a warm meal and resources to our unhoused neighbors by partnering with local service vendors. Your presence and volunteering will help create a welcoming, supportive, and safer environment for our community.

Why this project matters: Our unhoused neighbors will get some urgent needs met, which everyone deserves. St. Margaret's Center regularly serves coffee and nutritious food, immediate health care, jobs, identification, and mail service. Partnering with Better Angels, we will invite more local resources for their guests to access at this location. When we work with fellow volunteers to meet the urgent needs of people living outside, our entire community benefits.

Wear: Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. If you've volunteered with us before, feel free to wear your Better Angels T-shirt to show your support!

Tools: We will provide any necessary supplies, tools, and gloves if you need them.

Age: All ages are welcome. Teams with members younger than 14 will participate with their parent/ guardian.
