Topanga Women's Circle ("TWC") is a non-profit organization that helps homeless
families in Los Angeles that move to transitional housing to furnish their home.
TWC was founded in 2006 by Topanga resident Arlette Parker. The Malibu Times
reported, that TWC originated when Parker witnessed a mother and her son moving
into a home with a trash bag that was filled with personal belongings. She
realized that some homeless families do not get to retain their possessions when
they start over in a new environment, when transitioning from being on the
streets into shelters. TWC is collaborating with Westwood Transitional Village
and Venice Community Housing to help families that are in need. The size of
volunteers for the organization has grown over the years as it initially started
with less than 10 female volunteers. TWC consists of 75 female volunteers who
help collect donations from people every Saturday morning. Linda Ilsley,
co-chair of TWC since Parker left, said little items people take for granted in
daily life can transform a temporary housing into a home.
Rotary is a leadership organization made up of local business, professional and civic leaders who meet
regularly to get to know each other, form friendships and, through that, get things done in our local community. Rotary is the world's
oldest and largest service organization (founded in 1905).
