Laguna Friends in Need

Laguna Friends in Need improves the lives of day laborers in Laguna Canyon by creating a safe environment in which they can wait for work, as well as by providing meals, clothing, weekly English classes, medical care, and holiday presents for the workers and their families. Shira and her team have raised more than $20,000 in cash and in-kind donations, and, in the process, have established a personal bond with the workers and helped break down local prejudices.
