Organizations Filed Purposes:
MOBILIZING PEOPLE AND RESOURCES TO DELIVER CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO COMMUNITY NEEDS.
COURT REFERRAL COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM Part of the California League of Alternate Service (CRCS) Programs, the Volunteer Center's Court Referral Community Service Program provides assistance to thousands of clients annually who are given community service by the courts as an alternative sentence. CRCS staff works with eligible nonprofits in the community to help court volunteers complete their service. CRCS staff also coordinates participation in the Hospital and Morgue (HAM) Program and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Victim Impact Panels to help build awareness and empathy for people with specific offenses. This ensures that court volunteers can maintain their employment, education and other positive influences while completing their community service.
OPERATION TEDDY BEAR Operation Teddy Bear is the Volunteer Centers volunteer-powered literacy program that provides an educational boost through a kind gift more than 4,000 schoolbags filled with books, educational materials and wellness tools, along with a lesson in kindness, compassion, volunteering and identifying emotions to the most underserved first-graders in the South Bay, Harbor and Long Beach areas each year. The program also provides volunteers with an opportunity to help the children first-hand by preparing items and schoolbags, and then interacting with students in the classrooms. During school visits, volunteers read an original story about kindness, facilitating a lesson about helping others, and they use the experience of receiving the schoolbag and the teddy bear to help the students identify, process and work through their emotions.
FOOD FOR KIDS Food For Kids is the Volunteer Centers volunteer and donation-driven food pantry that provides bags of non-perishable food and health-related inserts to low-income elementary school students at partner schools each week. Volunteers sort, pack and deliver bags of food filled with enough items to make two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners for a family of four to the schools every Friday. The schools identify families with the greatest need, and those students take the bags home to share over the weekend.
