Volunteers are needed for the 2020 Annual Point-in-Time Homeless Count.  Here is a link to sign up for this year’s count.  A brochure is also attached.  When you go to sign up, if you put in our 91436 zip code you will be assigned to Encino, the staging area is Valley Beth Shalom.  In case you haven’t done this before, it starts with some instruction around 8 pm, you will be done by 11 pm.  I know volunteers are needed from all over our Service Planning Area.  It is a great opportunity to meet some of our constituents and do something unusual.  The count is super important – it is a major factor in determining allocation of HUD resources.   We are also a sponsor!

On August 26th 2019, the West Valley LAPD will have their 3rd annual golf tournament! You can register to play in the tournament or you can help sponsor the event! Funds raised from this event will benefit the West Valley B.O.O.S.T.E.R.S. an organization that helps support the men and women of the West Valley Police Station. The event will take place at the beautiful El Caballero Country Club. The mission of the B.O.O.S.T.E.R.S. is to increase the effectiveness and morale of the officers and staff of the West Valley Community Police Station by raising funds for community services, materials and equipment not generally supplied by the City of Los Angeles.
