We hope that if you are in Los Angeles you will stop in at Homeboy and see the incredible work they do for yourself - and of course if you are there make sure to eat at the incredible Homegirl Café, grab some yummilicious loaves and pastries from Homeboy Bakery and experience all of the feelings of joy and kinship that Homeboy and all of their programs have to offer.

And we strongly and highly recommend Father Greg’s Book Tattoos on the Heart: the Power of Boundless Compassion - this book will make you laugh with your head back and your mouth open and also weep with the understanding, through story how marginalized some people have been made to feel.
We are blessed to know Father Greg Boyle and always hop at the chance to introduce him to someone new!

More about Homeboy Industries:
"Homeboy Industries provides hope, training, and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of our community. Each year over 10,000 former gang members from across Los Angeles come through Homeboy Industries’ doors in an effort to make a positive change. They are welcomed into a community of mutual kinship, love, and a wide variety of services ranging from tattoo removal to anger management and parenting classes. Full-time employment is offered for more than 200 men and women at a time through an 18-month program that helps them re-identify who they are in the world, offers job training so they can move on from Homeboy Industries and become contributing members of the community - knowing they count!"
