A little more about the charity:
Friends of the Children – Los Angeles (known locally as Friends LA) is part of a national network of Friends of the Children chapters across the United States. With Los Angeles County being home to America’s largest child welfare system, Friends LA has been working to keep families together and end multigenerational poverty in Southern California since their founding in 2017.
Friends LA connects children ages 4-6 who have been impacted by the child welfare system to a long-term, salaried, professional mentor called a Friend.
Each day, their Friends advocate and help amplify the voices of our youth and caregivers – who often become voiceless in the midst of multiple systemic failures. By challenging the status quo, we help shift the way institutions and systems view and treat our youth and their families.
No reservations needed. Please come enjoy brunch, games, and support a great cause.
