In the heart of South Los Angeles, we find ourselves amidst a diverse community, comprising both unhoused individuals and families facing food instability in what is often described as a food desert. This Thanksgiving, we are determined to make a positive impact by hosting a special event, a "South Los Angeles Community Friendsgiving," at The Connect.

Our vision for this event is not only to provide immediate assistance but also to sow seeds for a better future. We plan to serve cooked hot meals to attendees, but we are equally committed to providing the ingredients necessary for a homecooked meal once they leave. This approach ensures that we meet both immediate and future needs, fostering resilience and self-sufficiency within our community.

To make this vision a reality, we need your support. We are seeking monetary donations to cover the costs of food, activities for kids, face painters, an ice cream truck, food trucks, tables and chairs, and volunteers who will be the backbone of this event. Every contribution, whether in the form of funds or resources, will go a long way in bringing joy, nourishment, and empowerment to our neighbors.

By joining hands with us, you become an essential part of our mission to ensure that our community is seen, empowered, and well-fed. Together, we can transform this Thanksgiving into a day of togetherness, celebration, and abundance for all.
