Backpacks, and paper, and crayons...  
but, oh my, many of our schools require students to wear uniforms and we have children who will only be able to attend classes  
if we are able to buy uniforms
 
 
Network Partners: 
   
We have a new partnership with a neighboring non- profit-organization.   El Arca is an Adult Day Program whose mission is to enhance the lives of adults with developmental disabilities. Here they are bagging adult hygiene kits with supplies that came from
First Presbyterian Church Santa Monica's Mission Team in beautiful cloth bags made by
The American Sewing Guild, Glendora.  
Thank you El Arca for joining our Network and coming to volunteer one day a week!
 
Those we serve:
 
Ricardo is a 29-year-old young man newly diagnosed with testicular cancer and is receiving treatment at the Oncology Clinic. His social worker requested rent assistance. Ricardo was very grateful for the $200 Angel Interfaith Network was able to provide toward his rent.
 
Linda is a 25-year-old cancer patient at LAC+USC Medical Center. A relative is caring for her 6-month-old daughter and 5-year-old son. Her social worker alerted us to the need for some clothing and diapers for her baby. Linda was so relieved when Angel Interfaith Network was able to provide them.
 
Samuel is cancer patient being released from the jail ward at LAC+USC Medical Center. He has nothing and is being placed in an assisted living facility. The social worker requested pants and shirt size large, a pair of socks, Large Depends and some Ensure. Angel Interfaith Network was able to meet that need. "He was so happy." the social worker reported. "You should have seen the look on his face!"
