Manage episode 260794925 series 2611302
501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to transforming the lives of under-served, at-risk youth and homeless families living in homeless shelters and transitional housing in Los Angeles.
The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation was founded in 1993 by Maria D’Angelo, after she had been volunteering at a homeless shelter in Central Los Angeles. She began by bringing children to get necessary physicals and minor surgeries, and soon began organizing field trips to amusement parks and local attractions.
Today, we have served over 85,000 at-risk youth and homeless families through our various programs, have given out over 55 college scholarships, moved 50 families and individuals into new homes, and distributed millions of dollars in brand-new in-kind goods and direct service to L.A.’s at-risk youth and families, and families experiencing homelessness.
We are currently focusing upon making our Camp for All Program accessible to even more and more Los Angeles youth and families, and we hope to build our own facility within the next five years…Please watch the video about our Founder, Maria D’Angelo, to learn more about the CLF’s rich history in the local Los Angeles community.
