Living on the streets of Los Angeles is a dangerous situation for anyone. But for precious children, it can be life-threatening – exposing them to illness, drugs, instability, and lack of consistent education. When women finally come to Union Rescue Mission’s Hope Gardens Family Center after running out of resources and options, they are feeling hopeless and alone.
This year’s Hearts for Hope Gala – “A Generation of Hope” – held at the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, will allow you to make a difference in the lives of these precious women and children. You will have the opportunity to win items at our silent and live auctions, shop at the boutiques, and enjoy a delicious dinner with live entertainment all while supporting a good cause.
