Helping our homeless is no easy task. But the team at Friends In Deed is passionate about their work and it shows. I\u2019m gladly contributing $200,000 to their cause today. Our County can accelerate efforts that lift individuals off our streets through partnerships with effective and committed non-profits. Friends In Deed is a clear example of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Friends In Deed, a non-profit interfaith social services agency founded in Pasadena in 1894, focuses on reducing and preventing homelessness and alleviating the effects of poverty for the community\u2019s most vulnerable citizens.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cOur team has been working harder than ever to provide for those experiencing homelessness in the Pasadena area, as well as working to prevent more people from finding themselves unhoused,&#8221; said<strong>\u00a0Rabbi Joshua Levine Grater, Friends In Deed\u2019s Executive Director<\/strong>. &#8220;This generous funding from Supervisor Barger is especially useful now, as we are seeing the need across every program at all-time highs. This support enables us to stay flexible to support those who need our help most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Friends In Deed operates five core programs, including Food Pantry, The Women\u2019s Room (a day shelter for homeless and at-risk women), Street Outreach and Housing, Bad Weather Shelter\/Supplies, and Eviction Prevention and Rental Assistance. Friends In Deed is committed to providing compassion, connection, and dignity for all clients experiencing times in their lives when they need assistance most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ca-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=60691"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60692,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60691\/revisions\/60692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=60691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=60691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=60691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
