Each year, they welcome over 10,000 people through their doors seeking to transform their lives. Their flagship 18-month re-entry program is offered to hundreds of men and women each year.

In addition to social service organizations, the William H.

Hannon Foundation’s grant to Para Los Niños helps support the organization’s early education program. It marks the 19th year it has supported the Hollywood-based organization.

“Our Board of Directors has made it a priority to support organizations who are working to help the most vulnerable in our local communities,” said Kathleen Hannon Aikenhead, President of the William H. Hannon Foundation. “Whether it is in classrooms, hospitals, or foodbanks, the positive impact these organizations make in the daily lives of Angelenos makes our decision to support these institutions easy.”
