HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS – IN JAIL & PROGRAMS UPDATE

IN-JAIL PROGRAM UPDATE:

Hello HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS followers/supporters.    I know it’s been over a month since my last post, so this one is going to cover two stories…  first, in Mid-December, we had our end of semester shoot for semester #29.  We did something a little different.  We invited several of our success stories to come back in and be interviewed.   To explain what they are doing to stay clean and sober and how to stay OUT OF JAIL!

Here are our Alumni that participated plus Matthew and Josh who had to leave early before we could take this picture so 7 of our graduates were there to help inspire those still inside.

Overall, it was just a great day!

HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS/LASD ALUMNI PROGRAM –  Update:

Also in Mid December, we did our 9th annual Angel Tree Event.   It’s done by our Alumni group.  We first meet at In N Out Burgers for dinner and fellowship.  Then we gather up gifts purchased by our team and head out to deliver them to the children who have an incarcerated parent.

New friends came out to help us.   And poor Lawrence had just gotten out of neck surgery but he still showed up.  Said he just couldn’t miss it.   That is dedication.

It was a great night.  We had two teams go out, Lancaster and Pacoima, handed out gifts to 37 children of incarcerated parents.   We pray events like this will build that healthy relationship between parent and child and help that child to stay on the right path.

Thank you to everyone who helped this year!  Hope you had a very Merry Christmas.
