Full Notification

Community Lead Officers John Deer and Marco Lemus have been focusing much of their time and effort finding solutions to help the homeless in El Segundo. Recently, they were able to assist a 23 yr old young man living on the streets in El Segundo and got him housing at a transitional aged youth home called Home At Last (www.homeatlastcdc.org). Officers received a tour of the facility and were able to see first-hand the hearts and minds that are involved in creating a better life to people and families in need.

The El Segundo community has long expressed an interest in learning how they can help with homelessness.  After speaking to the staff of this transitional living facility, they informed us of items they need to sustain a healthy and sanitary environment for those in their shelter while they transition back into a life off of the streets. Some of the items they need include: 

Men and women’s undergarments

Blankets and sheets

Personal hygiene items – toothpaste/brush, shampoo, deodorant, toilet paper, soap, etc.

Usable clothing, business attire for job interviews, etc.

Books

Kitchen appliances including a commercial washer/dryer 

We would like to thank those community members who have already shown their generosity by dropping off some of these needed items at ESPD.

If you would like to donate any of the above items, or any items in general, please drop it off at the El Segundo Police Department (348 Main Street), in care of Ofc. Deer or Ofc. Lemus.  All items we receive will be donated to Home At Last to help them run their transitional housing facility.

If you have any questions, please contact Officer John Deer at [email protected] or Officer Marco Lemus at [email protected]. Both officers can also be reached via phone at (310) 524—2268.

Thank you
