From all of us at Soroptimist International of Channel Islands, we hope your families and friends in the Greater LA community are safe and, for those evacuated, can return to their homes soon. We find it our duty to support the Greater LA community, and no more so than now. This month, we continue to do what we can to build a better Channel Islands and Greater LA community. For those in immediate need of aid, we encourage you to apply here.
