News from The Piedmont and NoHo SAC: Veterans Day Project

The Piedmont, North Hollywood, CA: Program Director Arnold Schmidt reports, “Last week on Veterans Day, we had an organization called LA Works visit us. They work with another organization called Homeful.LA (and initiative of Inner City Law Center) on their project, ‘Weekend to End Homelessness.’ Residents spent an afternoon putting kits together that will go to recently housed veterans. The kits include cooking ingredients and handmade cookbooks with favorite recipes from residents and a personal note to the veterans.”

Stephen Davalos from LA Works explains the plan for the day.
