RAMS HOST HOLIDAY SHOPPING SPREE FOR SALVATION ARMY CHILDREN
WHAT: The Los Angeles Rams are hosting a shopping spree for 100 children served by The Salvation Army. Rams players, cheerleaders, staff and significant others of players and coaches will pair with the children and serve as their personal shoppers, guiding them through the West Hills Walmart and loading shopping carts with items on their holiday wish lists. Children included in the holiday shopping spree will be coming from Salvation Army’s Zahn Memorial Center that serves downtown LA’s homeless population; Westwood Transitional Village that serves homeless veteran families; and Alegria which provides residential care for the chronically ill and their younger family members. Additional children will be coming from Salvation Army centers in Ventura, Oxnard, Inglewood and the San Fernando Valley. This holiday shopping spree is part of the Rams’ monthly Day of Service program. Each month, the Rams front office staff takes time out of the office to volunteer with local non-profits. During the team’s first year back home in Los Angeles, Rams employees provided more than 2,000 hours of community service and impacted 13 local non-profits and 19 schools through the Day of Service. Since January of 2017, the team has volunteered with eight local non-profits and 25 schools through the Day of Service program.
