Friendsgiving at Friends LA

Bringing together everything that makes our community strong

Friendsgiving was a celebration of warmth, stability, and community. It reminded us that when families feel supported, children thrive.

Families, youth, mentors, and staff gathered for a day of good food, laughter, and connection. Indoors, tables were filled with conversation, crafts, and shared stories.

Outside, families enjoyed a sunny patio lunch while the grill stayed busy. The gaming truck added an extra layer of excitement with friendly competition and plenty of cheering.


Our annual Friendsgiving offers something every family deserves.

It creates a place where children can relax and enjoy themselves.

Where caregivers can feel supported.

Where everyone present can be reminded that they are part of a community that shows up.

When families experience consistency and joy in spaces like this, our youth feel the impact in very real ways. They strengthen relationships, build trust, and reflect the heart of our 12+ year commitment to each young person.
