Shelter from the Rain
As our pouring rain floods LA, people experiencing homelessness are being inflicted with flu, pneumonia, and hypothermia, even perhaps death.
Every night this winter in LA County, tens of thousands of men, women, and children are forced to seek shelter in garages, warehouses, cars, parks, and on city streets.
That’s why EIMAGO, a Union Rescue Mission’s subsidiary, works with LAHSA (Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority) throughout the area to offer thousands of exhausted, desperate, and hopeless people a safe haven. We serve approximately 1,800 people, like Jonine featured in this video, the most basic of care every night.
We hope you will take a moment to watch this video on our life-saving winter shelters. Please also consider making a special year-end gift today to help precious people in need this winter.
Blessings,
Andy Bales, CEO
PS. Thanks to a generous friend, your gift between now and December 31st will be doubled up to $250,000.
