Project Angel Wings Holiday Program
We always hear that the gifts We Give the Children through Project Angel Wings are often the only gifts that they will receive that year…
Each December, since 1993, the CLF has sponsored Holiday Parties for over 15,000 homeless, very low-income and at-risk LAUSD students. Over 500 children attend our wonderful Holiday Events, receive brand new toys and gifts toys and enjoy the benefits of this Enriching component annually, each holiday season. Friends, companies and our very own Santa present each child with his or her very own personalized gift bag filled with 7 or 8 new gifts of the latest new toys and gifts. Delectable food, DJs, great live entertainment, festive crafts, games, and a incredible feeling of community and family spirit complete the day. Wonderful local groups & national company friends such as Rite Aid, SNAP Inc, the LOEWS Santa Monica Beach Hotel, California Supply and others sponsor these heart-warming events. In addition, we collect toys from amazing friends, schools and businesses who host great toy drives and gift collections-such as JAKKs Pacific, OSEA Skincare, Agape International Spiritual Institute, GoodRX, PJT Partners, FTI Consulting, Northwestern Mutual, RQ Media, and many others. We drop-off additional toys to different agencies and shelters-such as Homeboy Industries, and actually go down to Midnight Mission on Christmas Day itself, where we have joined our dear friend Dick Van Dyke in giving away amazing gifts all morning. It’s an amazing way to bring the spirit of the season to those who truly need it the most.
*JAKKs Pacific is one of our most AWESOME, premiere Holiday Sponsors-donating thousands of toys each year, along with other wonderful friends and sponsors-just like YOU! CLF staff also brings thousands of toys and gifts each year down to organizations like Homeboy Industries and Midnight Mission. Here are some photos below at Homeboy Industries, and on Christmas Day itself at Midnight Mission with CLF staff and volunteers!
