CLF "MOMS" and VOLUNTEERS at our Weekend Workshop at the Circle X Ranch!

AN APARTMENT WE MOVED ONE OF FAMILIES

INTO IN 2007, WITH NEW FURNITURE.

This is a very significant program to the CLF, and one that is very easy for friends to get involved in.

WE NEED YOUR HELP THIS YEAR.

OUR FAMILIES NEED YOU!
Please e-mail us if you are interested in sponsoring a family.

 

One of the greatest concerns which presented itself the most, was the parent’s alarm and anxiety about their child’s academic progress, as well as their futures. They often felt helpless, overworked, and needed the assurances of someone looking out for their children, of being completely on their side of making sure their child receive the best possible education, and academic help.

In February of 2006, these very concerns evolved into the “Care through College” Learning Center, a beautiful, light-filled space in Santa Monica, for the local children enrolled in our Adopt-A-Family Program.


ADOPT-A-FAMILY

THIS YEAR!

Our Adopt-a-Family Program stabilizes and rehabilitates homeless families by moving them out of shelters and into a new home.

WE FIND SPONSORS TO MOVE THEM OUT.

IT'S THAT EASY.

WITH YOUR CONTRIBUTION.

We then meet and evaluate the prospective families, at our camp and through agency referrals, to determine that the parents are drug and alcohol free, have job skills,  and are committed to improving their lives.

Low-Income Families already living in their own apartments are also aided through financial stipends, emergency aid, in-kind donations of clothing, toiletries and furniture, and year-round field trips and attendance to other CLF events.

When a family is adopted through this program, we provide the needed funds, assistance in the physical move, and supply them with furniture and appliances.

Families we adopt become permanent members of our foundation family. Their children attend our Care Through College Learning Center, and our Camp4All Summer Program.

42 Families have successfully transitioned to

self-sufficiency.

 

HOW WE KEEP IN TOUCH WITH OUR FAMILIES

Several years ago, the CLF began Family Nights once per month in Santa Monica, where the families we serve came together to talk, discuss and dine together, with their children, and our staff. This became a great way to keep in touch with the families, check on the children’s progress, and meet any arising challenges.

 

 

The CLF continues to see all the families on a regular basis, by home visitations, by phone conferences, through special dinners, monthly field trips, outings and “Family Camp weeks”.
