Working with APCH has been such a joy. I absolutely recommend APCH for volunteer activities whether you are looking to get involved as an individual or host a company outing, APCH is the place to be!
A Place Called Home is a wonderful organization. At this moment I am taking a break from serving Thanksgiving to the South Los Angeles community. This morning APCH gave over 500 grocery bags and Turkeys that will certainly make tomorrows Thanksgiving special. My whole family is volunteering to make this day, this season a special one for the community. We love that we can come together as a family and give back. Thank you APCH!
When you believe that every child deserves an opportunity to become the very best they can be, then you would hope that all children, no matter how poor their family, could be a member of APCH. From help with homework, being tutored to being mentored, children entering APCH enter a loving , caring enviornment where they know they are safe, no matter how difficult the neighborhood in which they live. With calles in art, music, dance, computers, drama,and sports, kids get the opportunity to experience so many of the enrichment programs that are not available to them in their public schools. Finally, it is remarkable the number of members that have become the first in their family to attend university with college scholarships and guidance. Every child should have the same chance in life to maximize their potential.
APCH is contributes to children's lives everyday. This organization is not an "organization" - it is a family that works together everyday to touch and positively impact the lives of community children by giving them access to creating a healthy, balanced and personally fulfilling life. I am honored to be a part of this "family" and cannot think of a more valuable organization to donate my time or resources.
I carefully choose which organization to get close to and support for time commitment and financial reasons. APCH was the absolute right choice. I get more out of being involved and volunteering from the children that attend APCH than I could ever give back. I see the difference the staff and programs make in these young lives with everything from college scholarships to teaching the kids to back to their community. It is quite a thing of beauty.
