A Community’s Generosity
We can’t do it alone. Our community—in South LA and throughout the country—rallied around us in our fight against COVID-19. From gifts to our Emergency Fund to donations of meals and masks for our staff, we saw generosity in all its shapes and forms. These are the names and stories of individuals and families, restaurants and companies, foundations and volunteers who stood with us and made a difference in South LA.
