About this project

serveLA is part of a non-profit community www.mosaic.org and www.servela.org that believes We cannot wait for change in the world to happen – we must enact it. We cannot simply imagine a new world, we must also labor to see change happen ‘on Earth as it is in Heaven.’ We cannot simply attempt to enact change through our vote – we must enact it through our lives and talents, our generosity and sacrifices.

As a community of faith we hear in the voice of Jesus the source of these echoes. We believe in and follow a God whose narrative tells a story of radical change. A story of hope, love, mercy and justice. A story we’re invited to play a significant role in. A story where change is not waited on, but where change waits on us.

On September 28th, 2009 we were asked to help raise $150,000 to build a home through Habitat For Humanity right here in Los Angeles. We know the world is struggling financially right now, and we might not be able to personally help every person who is suffering, but if we can just help ONE family get off the streets in our own city, that is a great place to start. We need your help!

The idea is to ask 100 people to pledge $1500 each, so we decided to make that $1500.00 our Minimum fundraising amount, but we would love to be able to contribute more! Please donate what you can then challenge yourself and step out in faith to a financial commitment that might even be uncomfortable for you, and know that this sacrifice will make a difference to a family in need, will change lives, in our own community this year.

We would love your help to raise the $1500 PLUS... If we are able to do so by our deadline, everyone who contributes will be able to come volunteer building the house in Los Angeles! We know times are tough, but we believe that as individuals we can make a difference in the world if we pitch in and support each other. We ask you to consider what making a donation and volunteering your time to provide a home for a deserving family in Los Angeles might be worth to you this season.

A few cups of coffee (good coffee) = $25
