Community Involvement
Local:
Members are encouraged to be part of their local communities. To support this, the Bethels (individual locations for member groups) in California give back to their communities in different ways. This may be through parades, servings , fundraisers, community services, and more. These events are chosen, planned, and executed by the members in their bethel, allowing them to develop a desire to be involved in their local communities.

This year’s philanthropic project is Ticket to Dream
The Ticket to Dream Foundation is dedicated to creating hope and opportunity to foster children across the nation, so they can just be kids.
Hope starts with having shoes and clothing that fit, lifting their self-esteem. School supplies and access to computers so they have the tools they need to succeed in school. Getting to experience the joy of a gift under the tree, a trip to the zoo or joining a sports team. It’s ensuring they receive the life skills and job training, education support, and access to housing services upon aging out that allows them to heal and grow to reach their full potential.
