Around Town
One of the major benefits of living in our Northridge apartments is that you’re close to everything. With the holidays just around the corner, your thoughts may turn to helping the less fortunate — and you’ve got a great opportunity to do so with the Los Angeles Mission.
FROM YOUR APARTMENTS IN NORTHRIDGE TO HELPING A VITAL LOCAL MISSION
With the central location of your apartments in Northridge, you’re in the ideal position to help out at the Los Angeles Mission this Thanksgiving. Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Mission, and they provide hope and help to thousands every year.
The Thanksgiving volunteer sign-up starts with completing this form on their website. By filling out that form, you’ll be registered for the upcoming volunteer orientation on Saturday, November 4. The orientation lasts from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., and the orientation includes a tour of the Los Angeles Mission. When attending the orientation, come to 316 East Winston Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013. Be aware that the parking is quite limited so you may need to use metered parking if the lot’s full when you arrive.
PREPARING TO VOLUNTEER AT THE LOS ANGELES MISSION
As you prepare to volunteer at the Los Angeles Mission this Thanksgiving, there are several things to be aware of. First, you can register for future street events once you’ve attended orientation. Be sure to read the volunteer policy and procedure information prior to your orientation day. It’s also helpful if you have the Volunteer Photo and Liability Release form complete and ready to deliver on the day of your orientation.
Be aware that when you complete your registration for orientation, you won’t get a confirmation via email. Once your form is submitted, you’re all set. Be sure to show between 8:45 a.m. and 9 a.m. After that time, the chapel doors are closed and no other entrants are permitted.
