Organize Donations for Local Organizations
We are seeking volunteers to help us organize donated clothing, toiletries, etc that we collect for our fellow Hollywood organizations, like Project Ropa, My Friend's Place, Covenant House, and The Center. This can be a one time volunteer role or a recurring role—we'd love to have your help either way.
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!
