"999 for Kids" was created in 1985 through a joint effort of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the County's Department of Children and Family Services. The two county agencies began working together after they recognized a need to help physically and mentally challenged children who are medically vulnerable or are victims of the most severe cases of child abuse, neglect and family violence.
The program raises money to purchase special items and services for these children, including sport wheelchairs, computers, special education classes, medically oriented toys and games. The funds send children to summer camps for the deaf, blind, and those with other medical issues who would not otherwise have such positive experiences.
Lomita Station supports "999 for Kids" through fundraisers and by donations made by businesses and citizens in our community. Together we raised $1795.00 in 2014 to support this worthy cause and the great work they do to aid children in need. Sheriff John Scott presented Lomita Station, Captain Blaine Bolin and Sergeant Laura Sosa with a plaque to recognize these efforts.
