2013 VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION AWARDS
We are so grateful for all our volunteers who assist our clients in feeling beautiful every day. Without the dedication and passion of Beauty Bus volunteers, we could not provide the dignity, hope and respite to our clients and caregivers through Los Angeles that is needed. The 2013 Volunteer Recognition Event was a wonderful way to showcase their self-less work. Click here to read more about the work of our 2013 award recipients. Join us today and get involved!
From L-R: Maggie Smith, Dan Rosenson, Alicia Liotta, Jaclyn Clifford, Kim Hudson, Erika Garibay, Jenn Mangali, Elizabeth Weeks, Letrice Lopez, Maria Dellacave, Patti Amaral

Can You Fund Dignity? Hope? Respite?
Did you know that nearly 1 in 2 Americans lives with a chronic condition? And 78% of families have no respite from caring for a family member?
Through the Bringing Beauty Home Fund, our annual fund to support our In-Home Visits program, your donation provides an essential part of our clients' overall palliative care plan. Together we can care for those living with terminal or chronic illness and their caregivers who might otherwise neglect basic and necessary hygiene habits.
