L.A. Works
Ferrell Marshall
Supporter
L.A. Works brings people together as one community to make a difference. Through hands-on volunteer projects and large-scale service events, the organization mobilizes Angelenos to show up for their neighbors, strengthen communities, and create meaningful change across Los Angeles.
My mother drove me downtown to the local television station while the telethon was live. I was nervous and wanted to hide, but I was also very proud as I placed the money into the donation box. That experience stayed with me, and I never stopped volunteering.
Over the years, I’ve coordinated countless walkathons and blood drives and raised funds for many causes. Being involved in the community, showing up, and asking on behalf of something larger than myself has always felt essential to who I am.
That lifelong commitment is what drew me to L.A. Works. I volunteered with the organization for many years before being invited to serve on the Board of Directors, where I spent 15 years supporting their mission. L.A. Works doesn’t just mobilize volunteers. It creates connection, purpose, and momentum. Although I no longer live in Los Angeles, I remain a devoted supporter and champion of their work and the communities they serve.
