"My Friends Place is a local center that provides meals, medical assistance, guidance and clothes to homeless teens and youth in the Los Angeles area.

We visited the Center on Hollywood Blvd. and it's a very cool place for the homeless and less fortunate L.A. Kids to hang out, grab a meal, get medical attention, attend certain workshops like sewing, computer classes, resume writing etc. They also formed a fantastic "CIRQUE du SOLEIL" inspired group that teaches juggling and other tricks. While all this sounds very hip and cool, keep in mind once 5.30 pm comes around, they have to leave the premise and have to look for a place to spend the night... mostly on the streets, abandoned buildings or some even hook. My Friends Place is the place where they can escape the streets during the day and get the necessary help to get their life back on track and ultimately getting off the streets! We met the kids and they are incredible and thats why we want to contribute to keep this Organization going. They need all the help they can get and are very grateful for every little piece you are able to donate!

Below, please find a list with items they hope and wish for. They also appreciate Canned Foods, Clothes, Toiletry items (diapers), Office Material, DVDs.... Hey, these are Los Angeles kids, so they want to look hip and cool, so bring us all your hipster clothes!

We look forward to many generous Lemon Lime Faces pop up on Friday, even if it's just to drop a can of tuna fish! Every item counts and is very appreciated! Here is a little more info about www.myfriendsplace.org."

PLEASE VISIT THE WEBSITE TO SEE AN EXTENSIVE LIST OF NEEDED ITEMS!!!!!!!!!! (The info appears on the LemonLime site, below the segment that I quoted above, on the Giving Back page--which I also just linked through the last sentence). Lots of specific clothing needs, toiletry needs, etc. Tons of options, great ways to give back!

Thanks! And share it, if you're so inclined!
