The sale will be huge as boxes of donations are already waiting to be sold! The church is located at 4915 Emerald in Torrance. 100% of the proceeds will be used by ELF to fund the ongoing efforts to provide growing relationships and education to all the children and teenagers that need help!!!

In the 4 classrooms and even the main santuary, we are gathering volunteer teachers to tutor youths that need help with specific subjects in school.

2. Volunteer to sit with kids and our tutors for crowd control and personal support for the youths in each session.
3. Spread the Word! Tell everyone and their kids to contact us about tutoring help! Parents can kick back and enjoy the day on the grass, or drop of kids for the duration of the sessions/event. Or they can join us and help serve at the event!
