Who we are
Friends are not a luxury. They're a necessity.
The Friendship Circle of Pacific Palisades brings together children with special needs and teen volunteers to forge friendships that last a lifetime. Teens give their time and their hearts through programs like Sunday Circle, Teen Scene and summer camp. And the circle reaches parents and families too, with support, encouragement and a place to belong.
The kitchen
A kitchen built on friendship
The Friendship Kitchen is a project of the Friendship Circle, bringing the entire community together around one table. Volunteers of all ages and abilities, teens, families, companies and friends cook and package fresh meals side by side, spreading the message of inclusion while helping individuals and families facing food insecurity. Friendship starts with giving.
