Our Impact

Impacting Lives, Building Futures

While it’s true that D’Veal operates in a prosperous area of Southern California, there is no denying there is still a large segment of the population in need of vital services and resources.  As funding for programs on state and federal levels is always at risk, it’s our job as service providers in the community to find ways to fill in those gaps. Whether it’s a mentor to keep children committed to school and learning, or resources for parents who need help meeting the growing demands of raising children, we continue to provide the tools and the people to help.

When ongoing support is needed, we have the skilled staff on-hand to connect our clients with the resources and programs that will provide comprehensive support. These may include: after school programs, recreational and sports activities, food banks, clothing resources, financing, advocacy services, legal representation, childcare and transportation assistance.
