Volunteer to create winter blessings bags for children who need extra love at the holidays.
Why: This project benefits children who are abused, neglected, abandoned, orphaned, developmentally-disabled or learning-disabled, homeless, runaways esp. those who are LGBTQIA, or children whose lives have been adversely impacted by HIV / AIDS and homeless adults. Volunteers will help a less fortunate or disadvantaged child or homeless adult feel that they are deserving and worthy of attention, care and celebration. And, enhance and strengthen their self-worth and dignity.
Who: The mission of One Incredible Family is to serve the disenfranchised members of our global family, here in Los Angeles County, by producing holiday-themed community service projects, designed to teach volunteer activism on the grassroots level. These events bring the HOLIDAYS to those who may not otherwise celebrate such whether by intention, lack of means or circumstance due to homelessness, loneliness, despair, apathy, disabilities, poverty, lack of family, or perceived lack of deservedness. And, with you by our side ... We ARE Making A Difference ... One Heart At A Time.

One Incredible Family, Inc. provides services which benefit the following disadvantaged sectors of our community: the homeless; people afflicted directly and indirectly by HIV/AIDS especially children; at-risk youth (abused, neglected, impoverished, abandoned, orphaned, runaways, homeless, learning-disabled, etc.); the elderly; and the environment. We also present educational workshops designed to provide psychological and emotional healing from abusive or dysfunctional childhoods and provide beneficial skills which can be used to improve the quality of our relationships with others and ourselves. As we heal ourselves and grow emotionally and spiritually, we are naturally drawn to service as a path to personal enlightenment. We call this path Karma Yoga.
Those with a desire to provide "Karma Yoga" - the discipline of being "of service" and giving "in service" ! An open heart, a playful spirit and a desire to make a difference !
