Happy Valentine's Day!
"Love and Compassion Are Necessities, Not Luxuries. Without Them, Humanity Cannot Survive." ~ Dalai Lama 

Today we take the opportunity to THANK everyone that helps us build a better world, to our donors, to our food distribution volunteers, to our team, and to the mothers and kids who show up to South Central LAMP every day, even during challenging times.
Our world is better thanks to you all.
New Year - Endless Possibilities
After a much-needed holiday break and a couple of weeks of distance-learning, South Central LAMP students were able to return to in-person learning in late January.

Recently the women in our program completed a mindfulness series that, along with their monthly yoga classes, has helped them navigate their stress and anxiety from the pandemic. Mental health has been one of our priorities during these challenging times because we know that the pandemic has not only been challenging on people’s finances, but also on their emotional and mental health.

South Central LAMP recognizes the importance of supporting the family as a whole; therefore our monthly zoom Cafecitos have also been a great place for our families to get vital information about the pandemic and resources available to help during these challenging times.

While the surge made us become a hybrid program again we were ready! We have learned to think on our feet and to adapt our services to make sure our families feel safe. This is our way of showing compassion and love to our families as we look forward to a much brighter Spring.

In honor of Black History Month, Sr. Cathy Garcia leads her hybrid class in the reading and discussion of notable African American women, including Harriet Tubman and Madam C.J. Walker.
