LMU Loyola Law School partners with St. Francis Center to help feed the homeless every third Saturday of each month, in Downtown Los Angeles. Meet fellow Loyola alumni, staff, and student volunteers, and bring along family members and friends.
Alumnus and St. Francis Center board member John Horn '96 leads the kitchen, creating the breakfast menu and the cooking. As a volunteer, you will help John prepare and distribute a to-go breakfast and sit-down service to the Downtown Los Angeles homeless and hungry. Tasks include washing, dicing, and slicing all produce, cracking and whisking eggs, toasting and buttering bread, making coffee, assembling to-go containers, table captains, washing dishes and more!
