Welcome to the LALC CAReS -
Community Assistance Resource Service Page
The LALC Community Assistance Resource Service (LALC CAReS) is a division of the Los Angeles Leather Coalition. LALC CAReS is dedicated to helping and assisting our community, through various means and resources, during times of crisis.
The LALC Board formed this new division as a response to those currently facing difficulties as a result of COVID-19. However, this division will continue to be of service in the event that any other major crisis arises in the future.
LALC CAReS has three branches to assist those in need:
The LALC Lifeline- This branch is for those people who feel alone and need to talk to someone. This will be a “buddy system”. The volunteers would be a members of the community who would be willing to talk to those individuals day or night.
If you need to speak to someone, please call 833-373-0051.
The LALC and Bullet Bar Pantry This branch is for those in need of food supplies, clothes, toiletries, medicines, etc. and is proudly sponsored by the Bullet Bar.
The LALC Helping Hand– This branch is for those who are struggling and have a financial need during times of crisis.
