Do You Need a Volunteer?
1. Interested in Helping a Nonprofit? Do you Run a Nonprofit that Needs Help?
Check out the Nonprofit “Yelp-like” directory launched by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in partnership with Inspiring Services. The directory’s purpose is to allow nonprofits in Los Angeles County to post their information and provide a central location where prospective volunteers can search through a growing roster of organizations to find places they can volunteer. So if your nonprofit is in need of volunteers to support essential services and you'd like to be added to the new Nonprofit Directory, visit the LA Mayor’s website and click on "About” then “Getting Started.”
2. Face Covering Guidance
Along with the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health, we advise members of the general public to use a clean non-medical face covering anytime they will be in contact with other people who are not household members, in public or private places. If you cannot maintain six feet of physical distance between yourself and others, you must wear a face covering.
Culver City and LA County residents are required to wear a face coveringover your nose and mouth if you are working at, shopping at or visiting a grocery store, restaurant or other essential businesses.
We’ve received a few additional questions about face coverings. Please find questions and answers noted below:
Do I need to wear a face mask on a walk with my household members?
This is encouraged, but not required. If you cannot maintain the physical distance of 6 feet between your immediate family and others, face coverings become required.
Do I need to wear a face mask while running or biking?
This is encouraged, but not required. Please note, you should not be jogging, running or biking with individuals outside of your immediate family at this time. If you cannot maintain the physical distance of 6 feet between your immediate family and others, face coverings become required.
Do I need to wear a face covering when walking my dog around the block?
This is encouraged, but not required. If you cannot maintain the 6 feet of physical distance between you and others outside of your immediate family, this becomes required.
Do I need to wear a face covering while at the park with my family?
We urge you to stay home and limit your time in our parks. A face covering while at the park is encouraged, but not required. If you cannot maintain the 6 feet of physical distance between you and others outside of your immediate family, this becomes required.
