Salesian Family Youth Center
Empowering Voices: Young Writers from Boyle Heights Shine at Salesian Family Youth Center
In a moving celebration of creativity and resilience, seven young writers from the Boyle Heights community recently presented their first published book at the Salesian Family Youth Center. The event, led by Luis Chacon and JC Montenegro, drew over 50 enthusiastic attendees eager to support and celebrate the achievements of these remarkable young authors.
Journey Out
At Journey Out our clients are usually adults, but children are the future adults that we may work with tomorrow. So we take to heart “Leave No Child Behind,” which is the United Nations 2024 theme for World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.One rising focus for kids in relation to trafficking is online platforms where traffickers often lure kids with the offer of friendship which they believe is to a peer, someone their age. And of course child se_xual abuse material previously known as child p_rn is a continuing concern.
Please monitor what your children are seeing as well as who they talking to online.
OCLA
OCLA® helps anyone who is homeless or struggling to avoid homelessness find the services they need to improve their life circumstance.
Los Angeles County is home to a staggering number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Over 66,000 people are sleeping in the streets, in tents, or in homeless shelters every night, while thousands more are sleeping in their cars or vans. In January 2020, nearly 19,000 vehicles, tents and makeshift shelters were “home” for thousands of LA County residents. This number fails to include the thousands more who are living in tents, vehicles, on streets or in shelters in Pasadena, Glendale and Long Beach.

I get to do things I have never done before. I get to plant fruits and vegetables. I get to use garden tools: a rake, a shovel, a cultivator, and a wheelbarrow. – Carlos -
I learn about compost, the map to learn about the ocean, Mesopotamia. We learn water facts, parts of the soil, and the flowers. – Brianna

I like coming to the garden because I learn how to grow fruits and vegetables. – Kevin

Our Big Kitchen LA
HOW WE DO IT
At OBKLA, we are passionate about providing the best possible experience for both our volunteers and those in need.
We believe in empowering volunteers to make a difference and inspiring them to keep doing good beyond our kitchen.
Good food is a basic right, and we are dedicated to preparing restaurant-quality meals using only Kosher ingredients, all under a seasoned chef’s guidance.
Our goal is to make our volunteers feel valued and proud of their impact. Our kitchen is inviting, and we aim to create a joyful atmosphere for everyone who enters.
OUR PEOPLE
At OBKLA, we believe that food has the power to bring people together, breaking down barriers and uniting us as one community. That’s why we’re so grateful to have a diverse group of supporters – from generous sponsors to the hard-working staff and volunteers to dedicated community members and an independent Board of Directors – all working together to make OBKLA a reality.
Comprised of experts from the business world, legal profession, and community organizations, our Board serves as a cornerstone of our organization, providing guidance and oversight to ensure that OBKLA continues to make a meaningful impact on those in need. With their expertise and commitment, we can ensure that OBKLA remains a thriving, effective, community-based organization for years to come.

OPICA
“We are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment that combats isolation and offers respite for family caregivers, all while keeping costs below our actual expenses. Yet, many still cannot afford even the subsidized rates of our services.This is where our Scholarship Program becomes a lifeline. OPICA subsidizes the cost of the program for all our members. For those who are unable to even meet these subsidized rates, we step in with scholarships to ensure they do not miss out on the care and support they require. Your assistance and partnership can make that happen!”
