This Holiday Season,
Let's Give the Gift of Home
Help LA Family Housing bring food, fun, and cheer to people transitioning out of homelessness this holiday season!
There are so many ways you can join us to make the holiday season festive and bright for our program participants this year. Host a gift card donation drive, share your favorite holiday sweets, package gifts for families in our LAFH holiday toy workshop, and more! If you have any questions about getting involved this season, please contact our team at DonateGoods@lafh.org.
Together, we can give the gift of home.
