      **DEADLINE IS June 15, 2014**

      Vote HERE:  http://fb-6679894.strutta.com/entry/7046732

      If you vote for LAC9, the $1,000 will help reach our goal of purchasing 100 sleeping bags and 100 camping tents to distribute to those persons and their pets, who are sleeping on the streets and sidewalks.

      LA on Cloud9 holds monthly food and clothing giveaways at Skid Row, MacArthur Park and Martin Luther King Park. On a regular -sometimes daily- basis, the Cloud9 team also distributes all supplies and food received, while on foot, visiting known and not so known sites where homeless people reside. The resources they provide include applying medical flea treatment to pets, providing food for both pets and humans, hygiene items such as toothpaste and toilet paper, and distributing blankets and clothing. Sometimes during these visits people living on streets will surrender their pets to LA on Cloud9 volunteers and then Cloud9 partners with animal rescue groups to help those pets get placed with persons in good loving homes.

      LA on Cloud9 is small but growing, making a tremendous positive impact in the homeless community and donates back all the resources and funds received. They also have a teen volunteer group that goes out with chaperones to help with food and clothing distribution as well. This outreach with the youth is helping develop these young teens and transform them into future adults that will be caring, responsible, and giving back to their Community.

      HURRY, WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL JUNE 15th TO GET THE MOST VOTES.

      Please vote– WE NEED YOUR HELP!

      Per Staci Wilkes:

      Friends, don’t forget we are in need of socks, shoes and clothes for the event I’m doing in Venice Beach for the homeless! They are in desperate need of these items and so I want to have the event either end of this week or early next week. Please go through your closets & ask friends/family members to do the same!  If you don’t have any items you yourself are getting rid of, then how about either making a monetary donation or going to the store and purchasing something to donate?  I know The Dollar Tree now sells socks and I believe even t-shirts. Ross also has cheap socks, underwear, boxers, etc. Please let me know if you have donations and I will arrange to pick up!  If you choose to make a monetary donation, my Paypal is: . Thank you!

      For further information, please contact Staci Wilkes at (818) 912-1710 or Claudia Perez at (323)812-9836.
