“PeBL Gives Back”

Launched in 2009, the “PeBL Gives Back” campaign provides volunteer support to local nonprofit organizations. As of 2010, the committee has worked with many different organizations including:

 - Upward Bound House helps mitigate the affordable housing crisis on the Westside of Los Angeles County and specifically, its impact on two vulnerable populations: homeless families with minor children and very low-income seniors.

 - WISE and Healthy Aging is the result of a merger between WISE Senior Services and the Center for Healthy Aging, which provides programs, services, information, and support for seniors, caregivers, and professionals in the aging field.

 - Westside Food Bank is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit corporation founded twenty seven years ago, which provides food to social service agencies on the Westside of Los Angeles County.

-         Turning Point/OPCC (Ocean Park Community Center) is a network of housing and services for low-income and homeless youth, adults and families, battered women and their children and people living with mental illness. They provide everything from immediate services - food, clothing and showers - through case management, mental health services and advocacy, as well as various housing options, from emergency through to transitional and permanent.
