Calvary Presbyterian Church’s Sip’N’Stitch volunteers meet Saturday morning to create blankets for a variety of charities. Since 2008 they have stitched or knit and donated over 2200 blankets in our community and around the world, including 361 to Acts of Kindness at LAC+USC Medical Center.

Save the date for a Tardeada, a time of entertainment and delicious food, on May 31 held from 3 to 7pm at the Angel Interfaith Network Gate House. ***DUE to Covid-19 Concerns *** This event is being transformed to an online version, details coming soon…

Those We Serve:

Cristina is a single mother with two children. She is unable to work because of her illness and has been unable to pay her utility bill. Her social worker requested payment on her bill so the lights stay on.

Steven is a homeless patient receiving radiation in the oncology clinic for prostate cancer. His social worker requested a change of clothes, a food coupon and a hygiene kit for him.

Synya is a 27-year-old woman who gave birth to her first child at LAC+USC Medical Center. Her baby boy is being observed for respiratory issues. Synya is diabetic and is suffering from anxiety. She is from Bangladesh and is adjusting to our culture and language and to being a new mom. Her social worker asked for a baby basket and car seat. We were also able to refer to other agencies who can provide support.

Thanks to you, our faithful donors, Angel Interfaith Network was able to help these “neighbors” in need.PDF Copy
