It’s about that time of the year when the cold nights are becoming unbearable, the temperatures are dropping!  LAC9 will be hosting a blanket, sleeping bag, comforter, beanie, sock and glove giveaway on November 10th 2013 @ 3pm at MLK Park. (We are located on MLK Blvd/Hobart).

We want everyone to get together and donate blankets, sleeping bags, comforters, beanies, socks and gloves to supply our homeless families that sleep in the parks and on the streets of South Los Angeles. I know it’s impossible to help every single person, but we can make a difference if we unite and give to someone in need.

Please, if you can, volunteer that day, and help someone on the streets. Believe me, we all need blankets and a lot of the homeless families don’t have a single one.

**If you want to donate a blankets, sleeping bags, comforters, beanies, socks and gloves but can’t make it on the day of the event, please contact Claudia (323) 812-9836.

The are no restrictions on donations; bring whatever you can.  🙂

Thank you!

Thanksgiving Blessing: O God, we thank you for this earth, our home; for the wide sky and the blessed sun, for the ocean and streams, for the towering hills and the whispering wind, for the trees and green grass.

We thank you for our senses by which we hear the songs of birds, and see the splendor of fields of golden wheat, and taste autumn’s fruit, rejoice in the feel of snow, and smell the breath of spring flowers.

Grant us a heart opened wide to all this beauty; and save us from being so blind that we pass unseeing when even the common thorn bush is aflame with your glory.

For each new dawn is filled with infinite possibilities for new beginnings and new discoveries. Life is constantly changing and renewing itself. In this new day of new beginnings with God, all things are possible. We are restored and renewed in a joyous awakening to the wonder that our lives are and, yet, can be.

Amen – (Walter Rauschenbusch)
