Together we D.R.E.A.M. Fund/Friend-Raiser to Benefit Homeless At-Risk Youth

Central City Community Outreach (CCCO), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to serve those living on the streets, in rehabilitation programs, or in low-income housing in downtown Los Angeles, invites you to their inaugural Together We D.R.E.A.M. ‘fund/friend-raiser’ on Thursday, September 30, 6:30 p.m. This first-time event is an evening of celebration featuring dinner, silent auction, and interactive activities with homeless at-risk youth, while highlighting CCCO’s programs and services. Throughout the evening, children will be engaged in several fun and creative activities and donors and guests will be cultivated for long-term relationships as a community.

CCCO’s mission is to Develop Relationships, Educate And Mentor with families living in emergency shelters and welfare hotels within the Skid Row community. The greater Los Angeles homeless count states that on any given day there are 68,608 homeless in our city, 10,000 of whom are children. CCCO serves more than 650 of those children and families throughout the year. CCCO offers a holistic array of programs addressing the physical, educational, emotional, spiritual, and social needs of children and their families surrounded by violence substance abuse, and poverty. Assisting and supporting families transitioning from homelessness to wholeness, together CCCO breaks the cycle of poverty through educational development and family empowerment. The staff and volunteers offer daily after-school support, tutoring and mentorship to over 75 children and have come to know nearly every family living in this district.
CCCO’s dedicated staff and volunteers regularly visit the shelters and welfare hotels, meet with families and mingle with the larger community. Behind their green doors, children study after school, celebrate their birthdays, share meals and form lifelong friendships. With the support of longstanding partners and other groups serving Skid Row’s residents, CCCO is meeting the needs of the community.

CCCO was established in 1991 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization to serve those living on the streets, in rehabilitation programs, or in low-income housing in downtown Los Angeles. The work began as an outreach to homeless adults and later evolved into an after-school program for homeless and at-risk children. Initially staffed by volunteers, CCCO has grown to a paid staff of eight and many volunteers who serve nearly 80 children through its daily after-school program. Special outreach events and summer programs serve another 650 children and youth, as well as 500 parents.

Tickets for Together We D.R.E.A.M. are $40; individual and corporate sponsorship opportunities are also available. Valet parking is included. All donations are tax deductible and all contributions will go directly towards providing a nurturing and safe place for children experiencing homelessness. For tickets and information call (213) 689-1766 or visit www.lacentralcity.org. The French Garden Restaurant is located at 1936 East 7th Street, Los Angeles.
