Through regular visits, volunteers become advocates, confidantes and friends. Friends to the Elderly welcomes volunteers of all faiths and provides non-denominational social service and assistance to all elderly persons who are in need or wanting companionship. Friends to the Elderly provides Volunteer Opportunities throughout Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. Volunteers are matched with an isolated elderly person living close to their home or work. Through regular visits, a caring friendship is developed.

This spacious two story apartment building helps families break the cycle of homelessness by providing shelter and supportive services. Homeless families must be referred by community social service agencies. We offer professional services including counseling, case management, information and referral and financial assistance for those that meet certain guidelines. We also run a weekly cultural club, Cafe Europa.
