4GOOD is participating in a great event to help clean up the beach!
Join with hundreds of other volunteers to help ensure that there is Nothin' But Sand on our local beaches. On the 3rd Saturday of each month, Nothin’ But Sand (NBS) cleanups are held as hands-on opportunities for volunteers to directly improve the condition of Santa Monica Bay beaches while enjoying the great outdoors. Cleanup locations rotate throughout the year amongst Los Angeles County's dirtiest beaches...those that most need your help!
Heal the Bay is a nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to making Santa Monica Bay and Southern California coastal waters safe and healthy for people and marine life.
Special Note: NBS-Heal the Bay provides all cleanup supplies. Volunteers should print, fill out and bring the Adopt-a-Beach Waiver of Liability
go to: http://www.laworks.com/projects to print all necessary forms but RSVP through 4GOOD.
We will RSVP for you through our 4GOOD group on LA Works.
Please just email info@4goodcommunity.org with all names and email's of volunteers (ages too if anyone is a minor) and the LA Works 4GOOD group will send you an invitation directly to your email.
Looking forward to seeing you at this great event!!!!
Thanks,
4GOOD

Lanterns donated to community in Uganda , Africa on behalf of 4GOOD
Hello 4GOOD members, if you haven't already heard we are now international...well at least we have one member who has joined our group and is from Uganda, Africa.
About a week ago our friend in Uganda- yes I said Uganda, Africa...Ssemutumba Stephen the founder of BUVAD donated lanterns to 36 needy community members of Bukolooto parish in Kayunga Sub County of Uganda(E.A). He did this on behalf of 4GOOD to save these people from the hazardous paraffin candle... that emits poisonous smoke and has led to fire outbreaks destroying many homes.
View the photos in the link below. Pretty amazing...we can do GOOD without even being there. If you can please take a look at the pictures and the link to his organization is www.buvad.org

MLK Service Day at the Boys & Girls Club of Venice
January 18, 2010- MLK Service Day at the Boys & Girls Club of Venice.
About 15 members met at the Boys & Girls Club in Venice to help clean and organize the facility. It was a very hands on opportunity and the kids had fun.
2 hours out of our day made everyone feel GOOD about giving back.
Hope you were able to do something in remembrance of such an important man. He believed that community service was vital and anyone could participate-no matter who you were.
"Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. you only need a heart full of grace. a soul generated by love."

Friends & Helpers wrapping and gift drop off event
December 6, 2009- Friends & Helpers wrapping and gift drop off event.
For the past month members of 4GOOD have been helping us buy gifts for the 5 sponsored families we adopted through the Friends & Helpers organization. 4GOOD gathered all the gifts and wrapped what was dropped off before the event...see the kids helping us do the wrapping.
On 12/6, about 25 members met in the morning and arrived at the event ready to volunteer. Along with our kids we filled stockings, filled bags of cosmetics and wrapped gifts all to give back to the women, teens and children from abused situations.
It was a fantastic event and one that I am sure we will participate in every year.
A big thank you to all the members who helped with gifts, volunteering and just supporting us doing something 4GOOD!
Check out the pictures and the link to the organization that has helped so many.

4GOOD Recycling Picnic
October 17, 2009-
The first ever 4Good picnic. Today a few of the 4Good members met at the park with the kids and bought a picnic. We met new people and most importantly we gathered in our community to do something 4Good.
Everyone brought their Bottles and Cans...then after the picnic- Katie, Jeff, Rosalind, Naomi, Peter, Izak, Eli and I (founding members of 4GOOD) took them over to the Burbank Recycling Center where we came upon the biggest mound of trash I have ever seen. We sorted through bag after bag and recycled a whopping 15lbs of aluminum cans, 100 lbs of glass, and 50 lbs of plastic. We made $79.89! Wow...amazing!!! See the newly added pictures below!

Back to School Friends & Helpers Event 8/14/2009
August 14, 2009-
The first ever 4GOOD participating event...here is where it all started.
We discovered a wonderful organization called Friends& Helpers - a unique grass roots charity organization that has been around since 1992 helping abused women and their kids as well as many other people in our community who need help.
We found out about their back to school program for kids who needed supplies so we decided to purchase some supplies and bring our own kids to help stuff back packs on the day of the event.
It was amazing- not only did it feel great to get out there and do something to help, the truly amazing part was to watch our kids having fun while making a real difference. It was exactly why we started this group.
The best part was when my 9 year old, Izak said, " this was so much fun - it really makes me feel good that I am helping other kids who need our help." Gave us chills and tears in our eyes!
Great job Rosalind, Izak and Eli! You inspired us and hopefully many other kids and families to give back!
