My Story Harbor Interfaith Services’ Food Pantry serves more than 11,000 men, women and children each year. Thanks to the donations of caring members of the community, we are able to provide families with a nutritious three-day supply of groceries.

My wish would be to have peace of mind by paying off my phone bill, having gas to spend Thanksgiving weekend with my extended family and obtaining any job referrals w/good companies still hiring in this tough economy, due to job loss. Money is very tight although I know that there will be light at the end of the tunnel and that I am not alone in these tough times. Specific wishes would be: Help with Telephone Bills oustanding - 200.64 (Any small amounts would help - I have dial-up and a landline which my job-hunting depends on to continue to search) Gas/Gas Card -$60 to attend Thanksgiving weekend with my extended family Any referrals to good companies hiring that I may research (Exec. Asst. or Sales/Marketing Administrative Mgmnt)

My Story

I have been job-hunting non-stop in my tiny apt. since late Sept. when my contract was ended abruptly, by the corp.I was doing work for, due to the bad economy. I am my sole support & was underearning prev. due to the restricted economy earlier this year,limiting my resources to draw on. Job opps. right now are very scarce although I am confident that the right job will appear.

My goal is to catch up on my phone bill(my lifeline to jobseeking)and relax over Thanksgiving weekend/refuel my energy for my job search.

I am a degreed professional who is looking for a stable opportunity with a co. - preferably permanent or long-term temp that pays commeasurate with my experience and skills.

If you know of a good co. hiring or any skilled/ personable recruiters in the S.Bay, L.Beach, Airport,S. Monica,Culv. Cty,W.L.A. area and would care to share, please do.

My Story

At the Family Resource Center – Food Pantry we distribute a 3-day emergency supply of groceries to approximately 11,000 men, women and children every year.  In addition to food, we also distribute personal hygiene items to our clients.

I am in college and just need eight more units to get my degree! I am hoping to go to India with a study abroad program for these last few units but can't afford it! The program costs about $5000, without airfare.. Anything would help!

My Story

I am about to graduate and need this program to complete my last eight units, and to get a minor in International and Global Studies. Since I became aware of the program I have been saving like crazy, but I really don’t think that I am going to have enough and I really don’t know what to do! Please help me finish my degree, and fulfill my passion for travel!!!
