Agency: L.A. Family Housing

Description: The wonderful kids (ages 6 -11) at the Sydney Irmas Transitional Living Center really enjoy when L.A. Works volunteers come to visit. Whether it's reading a story, playing a game, doing an arts & crafts project or just having a fun conversation, you'll make a big difference in their evening!

The Sydney Irmas Transitional Living Center provides temporary housing for families who require additional time for achieving sufficient independence to secure permanent housing.
