LOVE LA
We’re in this together.
We partner with some wonderful local organizations who work to meet some of the greatest needs of Los Angeles. Vintage sends teams of volunteers, led by a Vintage host, to serve our partners at various events. By volunteering together as a church, community is built and, most importantly, some of the most vulnerable in our city are served with the love of Christ.
Loving mission is a core value at Vintage. Join us as we express God’s love in tangible and practical ways to our community and beyond.
Mission Partners
You can volunteer as part of a Vintage team (serving with other members of the Vintage community, led by a Vintage team leader) or if you want to invest with a higher level of commitment, there are many ways to get involved individually by offering your unique skills and talents.
Salvation Army is devoted to “Loving LA” by providing basic human needs like food, clothing, relationship and hope.
We run the Love LA outreach dinners in partnership with The Salvation Army each Thursday night. We also get involved by caring for seniors and vulnerable families on the west side. We offer assistance by the giving of resources (for example supporting a Christmas gift drive each year)

Join the Vintage team as we serve the city of Compton by bringing hope and restoration through this beautification event. We will join with others from churches and organizations across LA to work on projects such as painting a local school, murals, nearby homes and block-clean ups.
The Vintage team will serve together at the same worksite, this is a great way to build community with others at the church, while serving our neighbors in Compton.
Claris Health provides medical, mental health, and support services that help to create a standard where pregnancy and sexual-health choices can become opportunities for brighter futures.
We send teams of volunteers to offer support at various events, for example sorting and arranging items at the ‘baby store’ each month. We also bless the moms supported by Claris by giving gifts and resources needed.
Claris Health is looking for 6 committed volunteer advocates to work one-on-one with a mom in our court-mandated parenting program.
Commitment:
2 hours/week
Advocates will meet with a mom for 10-12 weeks
Training:
Advocates will undergo a 5-hour online training and be matched with a mom in our program to help move her from a place of crisis to a place of stability so that she is empowered to keep her family together.
All sessions can be held virtually. Ideally we are looking for advocates who can commit to the program for one year.
Parenting Support
Harvest Home transforms the lives of homeless pregnant women and their children by providing housing, support, and programs that equip women to become great mothers.
We partner with Harvest Home by offering practical help at serve days, donation sorting events and host alumni parties at Vintage. We are involved in gift giving and drives for resources that are needed.
Serve Individually: There are opportunities to provide meals for residents, facilitate bible studies, flip a room for new moms, donate to a wishlist, admin support and more.
Harvest Home
Prison Fellowship seeks to restore those affected by crime and incarceration by introducing prisoners, victims, and their families to a new hope available through Jesus Christ.
This year we are looking to partner with Prison Fellowship through the Angel Tree program, a book study through “Outrageous Justice” and serve days. To find out more sign up for our missions group.
Mission Partner Suggestion
Every June we pray and consider any other potential organizations for partnership and so we invite our church to suggest any organizations for our prayer and consideration.
