Los Angeles Mission Hosts Skid Row Job Fair
The Los Angeles Mission was honored to host a job faire for the skid row community on June 5, 2008. We had a wonderful turnout as you can see. We want to thank all those who participated for making it such a success.
In this difficult economic time, anything we can do together to provide jobs for those most vulnerable to homelessness is a great thing. And participating with Midnight Mission, Union Rescue Mission and others shows that together we can do more than any one of us can do apart.
