On a weekly basis, A Place Called Home's Family Resource Depot, or "FRD" initiative provides fresh produce and other personal necessities for 100 families within our community who are experiencing food insecurity or financial hardship – that means sorting and packing fruit, vegetables and shelf-stable foods to fill 100-200 grocery bags every week. APCH is able to carry out this project thanks to the ongoing genersoity and support of volunteers. Without volunteers, we would not be able to provide this essential support for APCH families.

Letter Writing Campaign - Wildfire Relief

Ongoing

Number of Belles:Unlimited

Mail or visit in person Monday-Friday 9-5 pm PST

417 Charles E. Young Drive West, Los Angeles, CA 90024, Room 315

The primary goal of this letter writing campaign is to provide support and encouragement for those affected and for the brave first responders who are working tirelessly to keep our communities safe. This campaign has dual objectives.

First, to support those affected by the fires: provide comfort, encouragement, and resources to individuals and families impacted by recent fires. By sending letters of gratitude and encouragement, our hope is to mitigate some of the emotional strain and show that the community stands together during times of hardship. Second, to express gratitude to essential workers: express heartfelt thanks and appreciation to firefighters, medical personnel, and other essential workers who have worked during this crisis.

There are multiple ways to support this effort:

1. Mail a physical letter/card to the Volunteer Center at 417 Charles E. Young Drive West, Los Angeles, CA 90024, Room 315.
2. Scan and email your letter/card to us at volunteer@saonet.ucla.edu
3. Drop off your letter to us at Bradley International Hall, Room 315.
