"I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things." - Mother Teresa

This beautiful quote sums up our 2024-25 season, which had the appropriate theme of Better Together.

Our season cumulated on June 23rd, 2025, when we presented our philanthropies with their grant checks. Through our year-long fundraising efforts, we exceeded our goals and were able to fund or partially fund programs for all our philanthropies. It was a touching and inspiring day for all.

Congratulations to all our philanthropies: Cancer Support Community South Bay; Manes For Movement; Providence TrinityCare Foundation(TrinityKids Care Hospice); Community's Child; Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles; Boys & Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor; South Coast Botanic Garden; South Bay Children's Health Center; International Bird Rescue; Rainbow Services DV; Wyland Foundation; Los Serenos de Point Vicente

“We are profoundly grateful for the generous support of Las Candalistas, whose funding has significantly enhanced our community food pantries in the Los Angeles Harbor area. Their commitment to our cause has had a tremendous impact, particularly on the youth and broader community members we serve.”

“The Wyland Foundation is deeply appreciative of the support Las Candalistas provides. Your work shows how much impact a committed group of people can have in helping others in need. Thanks to you, the Wyland Foundation will be providing much needed mobile education outreach next spring to community centers and underserved schools throughout the south bay about the role we all can play in preserving the health of our coasts and waterways.”

Steve Creech

“I am incredible grateful to Las Candalistas for supporting Community’s Child’s Healthy Bags program.  Inflation has hit us really hard.  Work hours have been cut while the cost of food, rent, and transportation has just continued to increase.  The weekly groceries, hygiene products, diapers, school supplies and clothing we receive has helped me and the children so much.  The food we receive is very fresh and nutritious and we all love the cooking and container garden classes; these are such a blessing.  Without the support of the Healthy Bags Program, we would have to choose between eating or paying the rent.  I want to Thank You so much for helping my children to stay healthy and housed.  May God Bless You!”
