IMPACT
Together, we will join hundreds of volunteers at the Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center to support our Los Angeles emergency service heroes in creating 1,000 Disaster Readiness kits for our community.
VOLUNTEER ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
This event will have several projects, including creating Disaster Preparedness Kits, painting indoor rooms, assembling/refurbishing tables and planter boxes, weeding, planting, and more! Volunteers may be asked to stand to work, help lift, shovel, build, and use power tools. Gloves, paint supplies, and tools will be provided for specific projects (bring your gloves if preferred). All items for the disaster kits will be purchased in advance to ensure each kit is identical, so no donations are needed for this event.
