The event, which is scheduled from noon to 5 p.m., will benefit the Volunteers of America Greater Los Angeles’ downtown homeless service center, the newly named Rotary House. From the press release: ‘All net proceeds from this event will support the renovation of the 20,000 square foot facility to increase capacity and services for as many as 1,800 homeless men and women annually, with a special focus on the needs of the increasing influx of homeless men and women veterans.’
