HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
As we make our way out of 2019, there's a lot on our plates, but we're excited to make great things happen that are making a real difference in people's lives. Here are a few things that are happening...
TUESDAY DECEMBER 3rd IS GIVING TUESDAY
|
|
PLEASE DONATE TO OUR SPECIAL CAMPAIGN ON DECEMBER 3rd WHICH WE’RE CALLING
‘GIFTING TUESDAY’
.
|
|
|
Far too many families in L.A. are “HOMELESS for the HOLIDAYS." They'll be spending their holiday time & school breaks in small motel rooms without kitchens to prepare meals or bake holiday treats.
On GIVING TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3rd, GET TOGETHER has a special #giftingtuesday campaign to help make the holiday season brighter for those in need.
We need your help
....
to raise $2500 to provide fun holiday activities that families living in small spaces (including motels) can enjoy together, along with meals delivered by our "Takin’ it to the Streets" mobile food delivery program. Watch for our big yellow CARE-a-VAN.
DONATE
on (or before) DECEMBER 3rd,
GIVING TUESDAY
. The more we raise, the more families will receive activity gift packs and be touched by your generosity!
We also invite you to help us make and deliver activity packs!
Look for GIFTING TUESDAY on our
FB
and
Instagram
pages.
Share this info with your friends & family. The more the better! It'll make your holiday season that much brighter!

Drumstick Dash LA for Hope of the Valley
|
|
November 28th on a rainy Thanksgiving morning, Kevin Wachs, Judi Uthus, and Lauri Reimer represented the Get Together Foundation on a 5K run through North Hollywood.
This annual event, in support of our partner organization Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission, raises money for homelessness. Nearly 1400 men, women, and kids put on slickers and face masks to run, trot, or walk their way through the race. Although the sun didn’t shine that day, we know our efforts brought smiles to many. Lucky for us, the rain actually subsided for most of the race, and after avoiding as many puddles as possible, we’re happy to report that we all finished!
