City of La Mirada


 

About

Volunteers enhance the La Mirada community in a variety of ways. Volunteers assist staff during city wide special events such as Haloweenfest, Chili Holiday, All That Dance, Mother-Daughter Tea, Father-Daughter Dance and the Easter Event. Volunteers are also needed for the Helping Hands program, which caters to residents in the community who are seniors, low-income, or disabled. Helping Hands volunteers spend one Saturday a month at a resident's home, helping the resident keep up the property and spending time with the resident.

Mission: The "Volunteers in Action" program is coordinated by the City's Community Services Department. The La Mirada Community Services Department works to involve the whole La Mirada community to anticipate trends in recreational, educational, and social service needs, then responds with timely, well thought-out programs, services, classes, and events developed by staff and community members working together.
