Waste Management We are so thankful that "WM" has committed to sponsor this amazing event. By the beginning of 2025, For The Need hosted Volunteer Welcome & Training Days for new upcoming volunteers for the organization. This event introduced FTN’s new expansion with two locations, their Simi Valley Location (805 Location) and their Los Angeles/Northridge Location (818 Location).

A presentation was also given by retired U.S. Army veteran and dedicated leader, Bob Allinder, who shared how to be a critical volunteer and to make the most positive impact to the youth in the Bow & Arrow Mentorship Program. Each volunteer at the end left with a large smile, excited for what is to come in the new year and embraced in the FTN family.

Through their dedication and compassion, we can create meaningful opportunities for families and youth facing difficult challenges.” Spaccarelli also shares, “My favorite part of the event was seeing Mario and Sollas attending the training day, as they started as young Arrows in our program, and are now coming back to be volunteers to make an impact on kids just like them.”
