The Carson-based nonprofit organization known as the F.O.U. Movement is working to reintegrate former inmates, provide services for vulnerable youth and help those living with substance abuse disorder.
Recently, some of the members of F.O.U. distributed hot meals, hygiene packs, Narcan and more to a community of people experiencing homelessness living near the Willow Street Bridge in Long Beach, adjacent to the 710 freeway and the Los Angeles River.
The group’s founder and Vice Chairman, Valentino Luafalemana says he knew some of the people in the unhoused community. On September 14, he went down to visit them with some of his family members and a few residents of the organization’s sober living home in Escondido. It’s something they hope becomes a monthly occurrence.
“Anytime I’m helping somebody and being of service to them… It brings me joy,” Luafalemana told KTLA 5. “I’m blessed to be able to be in a place in which I can be of service to them.”…
