Healthcare in Action provides medical, behavioral health, addiction, case management and housing navigation services to unhoused residents in California. Our mission is to improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness through quality holistic care. It is our vision that all people experiencing homelessness have access to quality healthcare that addresses their mental, social and physical health needs.

We are seeking volunteers to provide direct support to young people experiencing homelessness through Safe Haven, a dedicated program that provides daytime shelter and basic needs and services to youth living on the streets. Safe Haven volunteers help serve food, grab mail, answer questions, and provide general support to our program staff. This is an ongoing, high-touch volunteer role that requires approximately five hours of training, a background check, and a six-month service commitment.

My Friend's Place has been welcoming, affirming, and standing in partnership with young people impacted by homelessness in Hollywood and across LA since 1988. Our professional staff serves over 1,150 young people annually, providing what they need to move toward wellness, stability, and a permanent exit from homelessness.

We are seeking volunteers to help us receive food deliveries on Friday mornings and/or distribute the food and supplies on Saturday mornings. This role requires a collaborative effort with a team of volunteers across our organization and aims to help those with food insecurity in the Hollywood area. Please wear closed-toe shoes.

Blessed Sacrament is a diverse Catholic community alive in the heart of Hollywood. We worship God, embrace all people, and form disciples. We help everyone discover their own unique adventure within the transformative epic of God.

We are seeking volunteers to help us at our Community Exchange—a free, concierge food service aimed at providing small to medium-sized social service nonprofits the food they need, when they want it, so they can focus on their missions. We need volunteers to help us pack food that will get distributed to these other local organizations.

The mission of Hollywood Food Coalition is to nourish the community. We welcome people to dinner each night and rescue and redistribute food daily to other organizations. We care for our immediate community through our wellness program. We build community with and through our volunteers and community partnerships.

We are seeking volunteers to make lunches every Sunday for the Hollywood Food Coalition to distribute across the region. You can make the lunches at home or in a group with friends. Most people make about 10 lunches, but you can make as many as you'd like. Label the bag with the type of sandwich (this is important and allows us to give the recipients a choice). Be generous—this is the only meal these folks get all day. Lunches should contain at least six items: drink (water, Capri sun, soda), sandwich (PB+J, turkey, ham and cheese are most common), chips (individually packaged), fruit (oranges, apple sauce, bananas, but please no apples—too hard on teeth), cookies (individually packaged), and snack (beef jerky, granola bar, nuts, etc.). No glass. No alcohol. Some people decorate their bags (not required but much appreciated). Lastly, drop your lunches off at one of our drop-off locations.

HODG is a very unique community. It's kind of like a boy/girl scouts for adults. It's about connection with one another, about hanging out, and doing whatever we can to make the world better. It is also made up of mostly people for whom our systems work. All too often those people don't get involved in civic actions. HODG educates them and organizes them to be a part of the solutions!
