May 10,2014
On Saturday, May 10th, 2014, numerous Deputies, Explorers, and Volunteers donated their time to those less fortunate on Skid Row. These volunteers assisted in the Fred Jordan Mission's Mother's Day event.
Every year, the Fred Jordan Mission opens its doors the mothers of "Skid Row" for a day of pampering. These women are given a rose, a Gift Bag with soaps, shampoos and other personal hygiene or beauty products, a Family Food bag, Diapers and Baby Items, and are treated to a makeover. Professional stylists, manicurists and estheticians donate their time to provide top service to these mothers on Skid Row. After their make-over, these women are provided a nourishing lunch they get to share with their family members.
"Serving the community is more than just providing safety and security to the people" said Captain Murakami. "To me, serving the community means offering hope and providing support to those who need it when they need it, regardless of where they live in Los Angeles County."
Captain Murakami has volunteered his time at the mission for over 6 years; serving Los Angeles County residents in need.
