Harvardwood will be partnering with an LA homeless organization to organize a donation drive in the New Year to help LA's homeless population.
People experiencing homelessness are being hit hard by COVID and winter weather, so we're looking for volunteers who'd like to give back to the community.
We will be holding intro meetings on both Wednesday, January 13 at 7pm PST and Sunday, January 17 at 3pm PST —you only need to attend one. More details to come shortly.
Please email Ryan at [email protected] if you're interested in volunteering, or if you have any questions in the meantime!
