A Letter from Janet, President & CEO.

AS WE STEP INTO 2025,
the landscape of need in Los Angeles has evolved in ways we could not have foreseen. The devastating fires that swept through our communities have added a new layer of hardship to an already challenging situation. For those we serve who were affected, our hearts break for you. We share in your grief and loss and want you to know that we're here for you, just as you have been here for us.

Please reach out to us if there’s any way we can help. These are the neighbors you continue to help, even as compassion fatigue sets in across our city. Your unwavering support demonstrates that when others grow weary of the constant need, you listen, you care, and most importantly, you act. Your commitment to our community transcends charity—it is a powerful statement that we are all in this together. Thank you for standing with us, for standing with them, and for being the light that guides us all toward a more compassionate future. Yet, even as we face these new challenges in 2025, your light shines brighter than ever. Your generosity doesn't just provide meals and assistance; it kindles hope in hearts that have grown weary. Because of you, families find the courage to face another day, and seniors discover they haven't been forgotten.
Gratefully,

Janet Marinaccio
President & CEO
