A Message From Ed Begley Jr.
We recently finished a wonderful public service announcement about our Family Housing Program featuring Ed Begley Jr.
The Family Housing Program is one of our vital programs helping families rebuild their lives from the ground up. This program provides more than just a temporary safe haven from life on the streets. We provide a home, a key to the front door of an apartment where a family can live together safely and begin to heal and move forward. The program is structured to assist a family in need for a 12-month period. This allows the parents to find work, create savings or pay down outstanding debt, pursue further education or training and acquire life management skills that will help them maintain and sustain their family after they graduate from the program.
Christmas at TMM
On Christmas Day, from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm, thousands of homeless and near-homeless men, women and children will be welcomed for a hearty traditional Christmas brunch.
Concurrently, TMM will be hosting Santa’s Village where homeless and near-homeless children will be able to select toys of their choice and meet Santa Claus. Volunteers from corporate sponsor, Nestlé USA, will also be distributing food bags to the neediest in our community.
Hundreds of volunteers led by Dick Van Dyke will be on hand to serve as elves demonstrating how LA cares about its most needy citizens.
Holiday Season Highlights
Happy New Year! The Midnight Mission (TMM) would like to thank our Board of Directors, supporters, donors and volunteers for a successful holiday season.
We kicked off the holiday season with an intimate fire side chat for 35 passionate partners hosted by Director and Mrs. Ali and Anousheh Razi. Guests enjoyed an elegant evening of stimulating conversation and authentic Persian cuisine which culminated in a thought-provoking discussion about the condition of homelessness in Los Angeles(LA) and TMM's approach to addressing it. This year, our Thanksgiving event was extremely celebratory as we served a traditional holiday meal to the homeless and near-homeless men, women and children of LA.
