Volunteers will be participating in site beautification and cleanup projects at Covenant House, a non-profit homeless shelter that provides sanctuary and support for homeless and trafficked youth ages 18-24. Volunteers will have the chance to learn more about the shelter and its work in the community. Participants must be 25 or older.

Parking lot available.

In partnership with Heal the Bay’s Adopt-A-Beach program, the Federation has committed to help clean up Santa Monica beach this year. Volunteers of all ages are invited to join us for this project.

Join us for a special morning as we braid and bake challah with local Holocaust Survivors and share personal narratives. L’Dough V’Dough, evoking the phrase l’dor v’dor (from generation to generation), is a unique program of Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust that provides opportunities for dialogue, reflection, and challah making between volunteers and survivors in the reflective setting of the Children’s Memorial at the Museum. The challah made at this event will be donated to the Israel Levin Senior Center on the Venice boardwalk for their senior community. Volunteers are welcome to stay following the program to tour the artifact-rich galleries in the Museum with expert docents at 1:30 PM or 2:00 PM, or borrow audio guides for self-guided tours.

Help us cook in the Project Angel Food kitchen and deliver nutritious meals to homes throughout Los Angeles County to alleviate hunger. Project Angel Food’s mission is to feed and nourish the sick as they battle critical illness. Volunteers and staff cook and deliver nutritious meals, free of charge, to homes throughout Los Angeles County to prevent malnutrition and return clients to health.

There is free parking behind the building and parking on the street.

Please remember the following essentials:

• Please arrive promptly at 8:00 AM for orientation. We will begin orientation when all participants arrive.
• Please wear closed-toe, rubber-soled, flat shoes when working in the kitchen. No sandals.
• Wear comfortable clothes (No cutoff t-shirts/exposed midriffs, cap sleeves or tank tops, please) — shorts are okay when working in the kitchen.
• No hanging jewelry.
• You will need to cover your head, so either bring a baseball cap or we will provide you with a hairnet.

You are also welcome to bring donations of candles, t-shirts, coffee, tea, mugs, soaps, lotions, books, candy, picture frames, CDs, DVDs, pens, notepads, toiletries, and any seasonal items. Project Angel Food uses these donations to provide clients with a very special birthday bag each year. These bags really brighten clients’ spirits and are often the only remembrance of their special day.
