Serve LA is a non-profit organization that exists to help guide the marginalized from suffering to flourishing and equip others to do the same. Our goal is to be more than a meal, more than a shower, more than any of our services—but a ministry where we witness countless examples of how the compassion of Jesus changes everything.

We are seeking volunteers to drive lunches to local organizations across Hollywood to be distributed to their guests. 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!

We are seeking volunteers to support their unhoused neighbors with their personal care needs by helping us facilitate our shower program. Volunteers will assist with shower check-in and sanitization, as well as support our clothing boutique, both of which are open to the public every Tuesday and Thursday, from 9:30am to 3pm. Tasks include cleaning, restocking, and assisting guests as they select personal items and clothing with dignity and care.

Compassion Connection provides free showers to the community twice weekly with a focus on offering an exceptional personal care experience that uplifts and empowers. Drawing inspiration from the hospitality and spa industries, guests are welcomed by one of our friendly Personal Care Concierges and provided with needed supplies. After their shower, guests are invited to visit our boutique filled with new and vintage clothing. Our goal is to create a dignified and enjoyable shopping experience without the monetary barrier.
