The holidays are a time for connection, reflection, and community - but for many families across Los Angeles County, this season also brings financial hardship and uncertainty. Rising costs, food insecurity, and everyday challenges can make it difficult for some of our neighbors to meet basic needs.
As public servants and union members, we have the power to make a meaningful difference. By standing together in compassion and solidarity, we can help ensure families across our communities have the support they deserve.
