WILDFIRE UPDATE: "Many Angelenos outside the immediate fire zones are looking for ways to help those impacted. In light of the devastating wildfires, we are adjusting the event’s activities to support recovery initiatives and help affected individuals and families. Some activities that will now be supporting displaced families include, but are not limited to, blanket making, assembling meal kits, and assembling hygiene kits."

 

The spirit of Martin Luther King's dream of lives on! LA Works holds a Day of Service Volunteer Festival in honor of MLK Day.
