Staff
Serving the Foundation isn’t a job. It’s a joy — a chance to change lives and impact the community we love.
Not just a job, a passion
Our staff see every encounter as an opportunity to serve neighbors in Torrance, San Pedro and across the South Bay. They genuinely care for all who walk through our doors, no matter their race, age, gender, religion or social class.
