Westside Family Health Center Gives Back Through Heart2Heart:

Westside Family Health Center’s employee-driven food and clothing drive, Heart2Heart is currently in full swing.

The drive runs until Jan. 20, 2014. Help the nonprofit meet its goal of donating 500 pounds of food and 75 bags of clothing.

Donations can be brought to Westside Family Health Center’s main waiting room at 1705 Ocean Park Boulevard in Santa Monica during normal business hours.

For more information, contact Molly Maher at 310.450.4773, ext. 253 or mmaher@wfhcenter.org.

Heart2Heart began when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck and WFHC team members wanted to do something to help Gulf Coast area residents.

Now, every year WFHC selects two worthy community partners in need of food and clothing donations for their clients.

This year, Heart2Heart will benefit St. Joseph Center Food Pantry and Safe Place for Youth (S.P.Y).

WFHC has already collected and distributed more than 350 pounds of food and 44 bags of clothes to St. Joseph Center and S.P.Y., respectively, since the drive began in late November.
