Help someone stay warm, please?

Beginning November 1st thru November 19th, Prudential California Realty is sponsoring a ‘One Warm Coat’ Drive benefiting Union Rescue Mission. A clean, reusable sweater or coat donated during those dates will go directly toward our precious guests facing a damp, cold Los Angeles winter.

Concerned individuals, families, neighborhoods or business can contact local Prudential agents for directions about home pick-up or go to a Prudential Collection Center.

Donate now, please?

Fresh Fruit (apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, etc.)
Fresh Vegetables (lettuce, onions, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, etc.)
Eggs
Rice
Frozen meat

Golf Cart and Utility Vehicle

Erin — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:36:55 +0000

We are in need of a multi-passenger golf cart (gas or electric powered) for use at our Hope Gardens Family Center. The staff use golf carts to transport families, senior women, residents, and donors around the property.

Along with golf carts our Hope Gardens Family Center is in need of two gas powered utility vehicles (4X4 preferred). During the rainy season utility vehicles are used for transportation and to access parts of Hope Gardens that are otherwise very difficult to reach. Additionally they are used for fire-watch, nature hikes for the kids, and daily maintenance.
