Funk Volume volunteers @ VCHC
Funk Volume in the Community has done it again. For our September event the Funk Volume team offered our volunteer services to the Venice Music Festival hosted by the Venice Community Housing Corporation. Although Funk Volume is a musically oriented organization, we are always happy to offer volunteer support to other worthy and noble associations which may or may not be involved with the instrumental and lyrically charged world.
The Venice Community Housing Corporation (VCHC) is one such worthy non-profit organization. The goal of the VCHC is to encourage the economic, social and racial diversity of the Venice community by maximizing affordable housing opportunities and offering other support programs and services to assist the low income population of Venice. It is nice to read and hear about the optimistic goals of non-profit organizations, however it was a pleasure to see that the VCHC really backs up their mission statement with effective programs and tangible results. Over the course of the day a number of former homeless families were courageous enough to get on the microphone and share their stories of struggle and perseverance, and how the VCHC was a vital part of their personal success in finding homes, jobs, and educational opportunities.
The Funk Volume team really exemplified the volunteer spirit at this event, showing that in the name of helping those less fortunate no task remains too much identified with the proletariat, as most of our work was done behind the scenes and out of the limelight. So thank you to everyone who came out and helped a worthy cause and thank you to the VCHC for their hard work and righteous ambitions. Remember, Funk Volume has a community service event every month so there is ample opportunity if anyone ever feels like giving back, and it’s always fun with us because there is always some funk with it.
Turn It Up!
