Christmas in Spring – Universal Studios Hollywood

Posted by Caryn Bailey Leave a Comment

Every year, Universal Studios Hollywood brings joy to the local community through its Christmas in Spring event. In partnership with M.E.N.D. (Meet Each Need With Dignity), Universal Studios Hollywood employee volunteers spent the day touching the lives of over 16,000 families living in poverty in the San Fernando Valley.

The LA-based, volunteer-initiated organization takes a holistic approach to poverty by providing basic human needs. With the goal of helping individuals achieve self-reliance, all members receive education and job skills training while contributing to society. M.E.N.D. provides stability and dignity through emergency food, clothing, shelter, and medical care. At present, it is the largest poverty agency in the Valley.
