Village Van's Fundraiser
Community through storytelling
Village Well has been the proud parent of a nonprofit, The Village Van, since 2023.
We provide readers with access to books, authors, illustrators, and educators to harness the power of storytelling while fostering community and enriching lives.
Over the past year, we have supported several organizations with similar missions: we hosted drives for Ready, Set, Read!, providing 273 new books to local LAUSD Early Childhood Education Centers, and over 150 books to Children's Hospital LA's and the UCLA NICU.
We held donation drives for West Los Respuesta Rápida, a mutual aid organization assisting families impacted by the horrific ICE kidnappings, helping collect toys and gifts for families for the holidays, and the Westside Food Bank, whose mission is to end hunger in our communities by providing access to free nutritious food and advocating for a strong food assistance network.
With your help, we also raised donations to celebrate high school graduates of Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall School by gifting each of them a notebook and a copy of The Alchemist.
Thank you for your support!!
