Join us at the Karsh Center as we build a more equitable future and a more connected community—one act of service at a time.
The Karsh Center provides essential social services that strengthen the fabric of Los Angeles by uplifting those in need.
Located in the heart of L.A.’s Koreatown, the Karsh Center champions the wellbeing of individuals and families through comprehensive support including healthcare, legal aid, food assistance, and mental health services.
Our work, built on the Jewish mandate of tikkun olam (the pursuit of social justice), seeks to meet the diverse needs of all our neighbors, regardless of faith or background—improving health outcomes and transforming people’s lives.
Valuing Every Voice
At the Karsh Family Social Service Center, we are dedicated to seeing and serving all members of the community. Our organization was founded on a commitment to respect and recognize people’s fundamental human dignity, from the clients we serve to the partners and volunteers whose contributions help make it possible. This emphasis on the individual drives our success, ensuring that each stakeholder feels honored and appreciated as we work together to build a better world.
Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges
We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to access the support they need to thrive. To that end, we connect them with critical resources for impact, empowering them to surmount formidable obstacles and achieve lasting stability.
The Karsh Center serves individuals and families across Los Angeles, with a special focus on the vulnerable populations of Koreatown. By collaborating with trusted allies like the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank and making use of data-driven insights (such as survey feedback from community members), we continually adapt our programs to provide meaningful assistance that addresses challenges and advances justice in Koreatown and beyond.
