Inspiring Foster Youth
Oct. 16, 2019 12:10 p.m.
Many people know there are close to 30 thousand children in foster care in our city. What many people don’t know are the hardships those children face if permanancy in a stable environment is not achieved. These children grow up to be young adults, and if they experienced group homes or multiple foster home placements, the likelihood of them being successful in adulthood is greatly diminished.

Power of a Shower
Dec. 18, 2019 12:10 p.m.
We believed that everyone deserves to be clean. Life for the houseless in Los Angeles is difficult and uncomfortable. Amongst their struggles is finding a way to take care of their basic hygiene needs. We’re on a mission to change that by providing a clean, safe place for our houseless neighbors to shower. Power of a Shower is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that focuses on providing our houseless neighbors and those in need with access to a place to take care of their personal hygiene. Donated and retired commercial vehicles are transformed into mobile showers where our guests will have a place to use the restroom, take a shower, wash their hair and put on some clean clothes. All while listening to music, getting a haircut and color and other much needed added services. |
