Graduation Commencement
7:00pm
The
Los Angeles Mission's Urban Training Institute has a commencement
celebration quarterly. Graduation is not the end of the journey
for UTI students. When graduates cross the stage they step
off the bridge of UTI, leave the pain of their past, and embrace
the promise of their future. Family, friends and donors join
in the celebration (our keynote speaker is to be announced). Please RSVP with Ana Ceravolo at (213) 629-1227 ext. 387 to attend the UTI commencement.
You are invited.

March for Human Dignity
The March for Human Dignity was created eight years ago to help spread awareness about what the Los Angeles Mission is doing to help the homeless of Skid Row. Instilling dignity can begin with the smallest of gestures, like providing clean clothing, including men's and women's underwear. Every year the Los Angeles Mission provides approximately 49,000 pairs of new underwear to those we serve. We need your help and participation in the March for Human Dignity to help us meet our goal. Contact Al Rossi at (323) 981-7171 or email him at ARossi@lamission.net or Ivan Klassen at (213) 629-1227, ext. 325 or email him at IKlassen@lamission.net for additional information.
