Feel the LOVE

Step Up
February 13, 2015

We’re feeling the LOVE! THANK YOU to our Donors from the bottom of our hearts!

You are an agent of change, impacting the lives of our most vulnerable neighbors throughout Los Angeles. We’re starting 2015 strong and that means we mustn’t slow down, so many depend on Step Up and Daniel’s Places for permanent supportive housing, vocational opportunities and member-driven support services.

Put a little extrain your Valentine’s Day by making a Tribute Gift in someone’s honor! This option is available on the check out page. And…take a HEARTFELT pledge to End Stigma now!

I realize that mental health challenges are treatable and manageable.

I will refrain from blame, shame, secrecy, social exclusion, stereotypes, or discrimination.

I will change the language I use when I talk about mental health and I will educate those of us who use stigmatizing language. I know that words matter.

I will help change the way people view mental health. I will make a difference!

THANK YOU!

We launched a new cooking class with our Vets last week at Building 209 with two enthusiastic volunteer chefs! We’ll be cooking new recipes weekly using the vegetables and fruits we’re growing in our edible community garden. Contact our volunteer coordinator at chealy@stepuponsecond.org if you’d like to come volunteer and help out.

Over the past few weeks, we've welcomed volunteer teams from The Home Depot, AXA XL, and Calsense to the West Los Angeles VA Campus to collaborate on the constructing and planting of garden beds and a small citrus grove in Building 209’s own backyard. The beds include tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, cucumber, eggplant, strawberries, and basil.

Team Depot funded the project with a grant of $8,000 to cover the costs of materials that included raised beds, drip irrigation, all planting material, sheds, gardening tools, and patio furniture. The Vets have formed a gardening club to monitor the watering and maintenance.

“We decided to make the housing unconditional...To say, look, you don’t need to solve your problems before you get a home. Instead, a home should be the secure foundation that makes it easier to solve your problems.” - @JKaakinen https://t.co/dtiqpEPFax
