With heartfelt gratitude we thank you for your ongoing support of South Central LAMP's mission. You have played a crucial role in empowering women and their families in our community, and we can’t thank you enough. As the African Proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.”

This year, we are excited to “go together” as we launch our Season of Giving campaign, a special initiative designed to amplify the impact of your donations. Because of the generosity of an anonymous donor, every gift made will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000, doubling the difference your support can make in our community!

The women and children we serve face numerous challenges, from language barriers to access to essential resources. Your contributions help South Central LAMP provide these vital services, including Early and Adult Education programs, parental workshops, family advocacy, and health care support, all aimed at fostering resilience and self-sufficiency for our families.

Here’s how you can participate:

1. **Make Your Gift**: Donations made between November 1 and #GivingTuesday, December 3 will be matched, up to $10,000!

2. **Spread the Word**: Share this opportunity with friends, family and colleagues. Together, we can reach our goal of raising $10,000 to support our families!

Imagine the impact your gift will have during our Season of Giving! A donation of $250 becomes $500, $500 becomes $1,000, and so on, helping us provide resources and opportunities to empower the families of South Central Los Angeles.

Thank you for being a vital part of our community, and for believing in the potential of the families we serve. Together, we can continue to empower women and children, especially those facing challenges in South Los Angeles.

South Central Los Angeles Ministry Project (South Central LAMP) was founded in response to the 1992 civil unrest in Los Angeles by a collaboration of eight congregations of Catholic sisters. They canvassed the devastated neighborhood and asked how they could better support the community as it struggled to rebuild and survive. In their responses, the sisters heard a strong desire from mothers to enhance their parenting skills, improve their English literacy, and prepare their children for school and later success in life.
