Here is a way for everyone to obtain outstanding bargains while planning for the holidays and helping the Friends of the Sandy Segal Youth Health Center in their fundraising efforts.
Log on to Bidding for Good, an online auction site for nonprofit groups, and bid on the variety of available items. Selections include Hello Kitty items, restaurants, whale watching, comedy entertainment, auto repair, jewelry, dinner at a fire station and much more.
Proceeds of the auction will support the free ongoing medical and mental health programs at the Youth Health Center. The bidding will begin one week from Friday, on Sept. 25, and conclude on Tuesday, Oct. 6. www.biddingforgood.com/ssyhc2015f.
The Friends group is the fundraising arm of the Health Center, which is on the campus of Culver City High School and Culver City Middle School.
Children living in Culver City or attending Culver City schools are eligible to receive the free medical and mental services offered at the Health Center.
Physicals, immunizations, care for ongoing illnesses and conditions, mental health support for depression, anxiety, family or partner violence and eating disorders, are among the services provided by the staff at the Health Center. The Venice Family Clinic operates the facility, and the L.A. Child Development Center provides mental health services. Funding for the Center is acquired primarily through donations.
For information about helping the Friends group by donating to the Health Center or contributing time, contact Sarah at sarahssyhc@gmail.com or 310.837.3734.
