Depaul USA - Los Angeles

#TruthTuesday Through the combined efforts of our incredible support network, DepaulUSA Los Angeles raised $30,000 through ticket sales, raffle prizes, and food and beverage sales! Words cannot comprehend how grateful and blessed we are to have such a continuous support system. On August 9th at Casa Milagrosa, Depaul USA – Los Angeles hosted the Taste of Depaul Open House Event. This vibrant gathering brought together the community to learn about or get a "taste" of Depaul's mission, enjoy delicious food, and celebrate the organization's impact on individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty. On September 20th, at the California Country Club Golf Course, Depaul USA – Los Angeles hosted the Depaul Charity Golf Tournament & Luncheon. This inaugural event brought together golfers and community supporters for a morning of friendly competition on the green, followed by a delicious luncheon and a program highlighting Depaul's impact on the lives of Angelenos. Both events were successful in welcoming new supporters and celebrating the work those who have been along for the journey have accomplished in two and a half years. #TruthTuesday  #DepaulUSA #CasaMilagrosa  #DepaulUSALA  #DaughtersOfCharity  #Charity1633 #HomelessnessHasNoPlace

#motivationmonday The words of CS Lewis today allow us to give ourselves the grace of stumbling along our journeys. Even if something did not work out as we may have hoped, this life and world and big enough and beautiful enough that we can reset our goals, and dream new dreams and aspirations to strive for. Life is a journey full of many unexpected twists and turns, thankfully, we can adapt to it. #motivationmonday #depaulusa #CasaMilagrosa #DepaulUSALA #DaughtersofCharity #Charity1633 #homelessnesshasnoplace

On the third Wednesday of every month, we are lucky enough to meet our community with fresh produce to help them get through the final stretch of each month. Food Distributions also open our doors to more of our community where we often advise them of the services and service providers we offer and are connected with. It is a chance to continue to help those we serve by reminding them of the programs available to them and our role as we walk with them and try to help them overcome their struggles. Our Fresh Grocery Food Distribution takes place this month in two weeks on Wednesday, October 16th. If you are interested in joining us, please DM us or contact our volunteer coordinator at: gabriel.partida@depaulusa.org to sign up today! #SpotlightWednesday  #DepaulUSA #CasaMilagrosa #DepaulUSALA #DaughtersOfCharity #Charity1633 #HomelessnessHasNoPlace

"I will always welcome joyfully any opportunity that comes my way to be of service to you.” As we take today to remember, commemorate, and celebrate the life and mission of St. Vincent de Paul, we invited our guests today not only to learn more about Vincent but to take the time and show how they see Vincent in their eyes. Guests were invited this morning to color pictures of St. Vincent to decorate our center and to be voted by their peers on which was the best design. When asked what Vincent looked like, and what he wore, they were encouraged to decorate their pages as they felt a man of his virtues would look like. Each version of Vincent shows the care, compassion, and respect he still holds for him and his work. A special shoutout and thank you to our friends from USC’s Caruso Catholic Center for joining us in celebration today and helping facilitate today’s competition. #DepaulUSALA #DaughtersOfCharity #Charity1633 #HomelessnessHasNoPlace

"Love is inventive to infinity." St. Vincent de Paul's words today call for the care we hold in our hearts to manifest itself into the work we come up with to help our neighbors in need. We put this wording into practice today with our Ice Cream Social. Special treats like these help remind our guests that sometimes, even a sweet treat can go a long way for those we serve. As we continue celebrating the life and mission of St. Vincent de Paul, we look to the many ways he served those in need by using his and the creativity of others. His work is a reminder to our organization, and all of us, that through love, no problem is without an answer. #SpotlightWednesday  #DepaulUSA #CasaMilagrosa #DepaulUSALA #DaughtersOfCharity #Charity1633 #HomelessnessHasNoPlace

"Noise makes no good, good makes no noise." St. Vincent de Paul's words stand as a reminder that good work needs no pomp and circumstance, the celebration of good work, is the good that it produces. Casa Milagrosa has seen an increase in new guests this past summer. When asked what brought them to Casa, most new guests responded that their friends invited them to a place where they found comfort and solace. Today, guests enjoyed a game of Bingo while we were also joined by our amazing helping hands from USC’s Catholic Caruso Center. Today’s focus on community was to remind our guests of how so many of them have joined us by word-of-mouth, and believing in us to help them on their journey. #DepaulUSA #CasaMilagrosa  #DepaulUSALA  #DaughtersOfCharity  #Charity1633 #HomelessnessHasNoPlace

As we celebrate St. Vincent de Paul this week, we look to his words as reminders of the work and care we exhibit here at Depaul USA LA. Casa Milagrosa and LA DAX House take these words of St. Vincent de Paul and put them into action every day. As we welcome those we serve daily, we work to offer a caring hand in their time of struggle. As we kicked off this week of celebration, we began by celebrating the birthdays of any guests who celebrate in September. Giving our guests a chance to celebrate in the community reminds us how much closer we are to one another we are. #motivationmonday #depaulusa #CasaMilagrosa #DepaulUSALA #DaughtersofCharity #Charity1633 #homelessnesshasnoplace
