The Gift of Love During The Holidays

Throughout the year, we see a greater need for help in our communities during the holiday season. Beyond the need for food assistance, we see working families seeking for more than just another meal - we see them seek hope.

It is a greater need that helps empower our team and our volunteers to go the extra mile and be able to assist in more ways than one. During the 2022 Holiday Season throughout our food distributions and coordinated efforts, LCS distributed over 1,300 turkeys and over 5,000 toys.

For our turkey distribution, our key event took place on November 20, 2022 in the City of Commerce at the IBEW Electrical Training Center. Thanks to the help of over 100 volunteers, LCS was able to help families that stretched over 2 miles long with turkeys and other food goods.

While we coordinated toy distributions with local labor unions in Southern California from our warehouse in the City of Bell, our main Holiday Food and Toy Distribution event took place on December 17, 2022 at the LA Fed.

Our work during the Holidays is labor intensive and takes a heavy toll on us, but it also carries special meaning to our staff and volunteers, which is what makes those moments even more important - for us and for the families who we support who we are blessed to be able to bring a smile to their faces.
