Our Lady of the Assumption Church recently announced in their December 5 bulletin that the church received grants from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles totaling $4,900. The money will go towards local agencies whose main goals are to service the poor in and around the area, according to the bulletin.

“The first grant of $1,000 was given to Hope Bound Ministry of the Felician Sisters serving people living on the streets of Pomona. The second was given to Volunteers of America (VOA) to help formerly homeless persons now residing in transitional housing. The $1,000 grant for VOA purchased fifty $10 TAP cards for public transportation and twenty $25 gift cards for Stater Brothers grocery store,” the bulletin read.
