Help-Portrait L.A.

Information

Last year we had a generous turnout of volunteers, so much so that we're going to plan as a whole this year and break up into several locations to serve our big city and support each other.

How Our Event Went

Our event was successful to say the least. When I say successful I mean that we helped families and individuals, uplifted people, and gave back with cheerful hard work on the rainiest day in L.A.

85 volunteers showed up today. That's right. And we photographed a total of 40 individuals. Beautiful work. Kodak and Ketchum rocked it today with their service and Torn-up-Tees made so many custom shirts. Documentary team was on top it, make up artists were encouraging beauty with their words and brushes, photo stations produced beautiful portraits, and greeters and check-in team withstood the rain with resilient spirits, folks donated plenty of refreshments, supplies, & tents and umbrellas. Thank you guys!

Share your stories with us! I know you have special experiences that happened throughout the event.
