School has started and before we know it the holidays will be here and the year will end. Let's plan ahead!
 
 
Network Partners:  
Are you planning an Alternative Market  
where people make donations as gifts?
St. Mark's Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach has already invited Angel Interfaith Network to have a table at their Alternative Christmas Market on November 18 th and longtime volunteer,  
Karen Bading, will represent us there again this year.
 
 

The other Alternative Markets where Angel Interfaith Network had tables last year were:  

All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena; Calvary Presbyterian Church, South Pasadena; Claremont Presbyterian Church; Claremont United Church of Christ; Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church, Claremont; San Marino Community Church; and Shepherd of the Valley Presbyterian Church, Hacienda Heights.  

In addition to the donations we received, several individuals signed up to be Sustaining Angels and many were introduced to our ministry.

Those we serve:
 
Mario was at his follow up visit at the Ortho Clinic for a fractured wrist and elbow. The social worker requested assistance as he is still unable to work in construction. He has a wife and 3 children to provide for and was concerned that this month he would not meet the rent and he has an outstanding utility bill. Angel Interfaith Network was able to provide rental assistance of $200, $50 toward the utility bill and $50 in food vouchers. His wife was almost in tears with gratitude.
 
Carolina gave birth to a healthy, beautiful, baby boy. She had ended up homeless after leaving a domestic violence situation and now she has a second chance at life. She has been living with her 23-year-old son who is working and very supportive.   She did not have much for her new baby and Angel Interfaith Network provided a car seat, a Baby Basket and a Pack 'n Play for her baby to sleep in. Carolina was relieved to have all she needed to take her baby home.

Urgent Needs:
     
Please order a case of ENSURE for about $24 and have it delivered to Angel Interfaith Network at  
1911 Zonal Ave, Los Angeles CA 90033.  
 
We will be able to distribute the Ensure to patients leaving the hospital who desperately need it.  It comes in many different flavors, and we appreciate variety.
