Get Involved
There are various ways to participate with the Los Angeles Catholic Worker: some people join us on Wednesday evenings for liturgy and potluck dinner, many volunteer for a day at our soup kitchen, some join with us for our vigils, other people decide to spend a week or two living with us, and yet others decide to participate in our Summer Internship Program. In 2004, 2005 and 2009 some of our soup kitchen volunteers shared their experiences with us, which we printed in our newspaper, the Catholic Agitator.

Do I need to registar to volunteer< or do I just show up before 7:45 to help out ??
One or two people can show up on any serving day (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) between 7:30 – 7:45am and commit to at least 12:30pm. Three to five people must sign up as a group by calling our house at 323-267-8789.
I am a sixteen year old looking to volunteer at a soup kitchen this summer, can I go in by myself during the weekdays or would my parents have to sign some sort of form/ attend with me ?
Greetings in Christ’s love
I am by profession a social worker with the County. I have frequently worked w/ clients w/ special needs in central LA and have enjoyed the experience. However, at present I am handicapped w/ inability to walk unaided or stand in a single spot. I am on med leave & would like to put my time to constructive use.
I am hoping to revitalise our food cabinet and expand to a used clothing closet at parish ( St Therese Church in Alhambra ) with my pastors permission. Is there a way that I can combined the two missions w/ my parish and your St Joseph House or there volunteer that I help w/ you?
God Bless

Can 2 students show up this Saturday to Volunteer ?
I’m currently a in my Freshman year of High School, so do I have to sign a waiver of consent or come with a parent or guardian?
Hi Gavin,
No, you do not need a waiver or a parent/guardian present.
do you provide services in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys ?
We do not. We are only in Downtown LA.
We live in Boston but subscribe to The Catholic Agitator (under subscription name Askold Melnyczuk) and donate to LACW.
I’d like to send some of the things you recently list as needs for “downtown friends.” And will include a check donation.
What’s the best address to send this small package to?
Thank you for all your important work!
Thank you, Alex! We look forward to sharing what you send with folks!
Our home address is:
632 N. Brittania St
