What happens when a professional sports team partners with a historic community center? In this episode, we dive into the powerful, multi-year collaboration between Angel City Football Club (ACFC) and All Peoples Community Center—a South LA institution serving over 6,600 residents annually.

We explore:

• How the partnership began with a diamond sponsorship in 2022 and grew into a sustained, high-impact relationship
• Over 500,000 meals delivered in 2022, fueled in part by ACFC and DoorDash support
• The “Goals That Give” initiative: 14,000 meals donated by May 2023 alone—1,000 meals for every ACFC goal
• Financial empowerment programs for youth, including a 10-week curriculum and $10,000 in matched savings
• A surprise donation of Chromebooks to the Mejor Women’s Group, recognizing $38,000 in collective savings
• Recognition of youth leader Dizzy Hernandez with a $1,875 professional development scholarship
• Community-wide events like Thanksgiving dinners, free fitness programs, and targeted aid efforts—all supported by ACFC volunteers and funding

This isn’t just charity—it’s a model for long-term, mission-aligned partnership. Through hands-on involvement, strategic giving, and authentic community engagement, Angel City FC is helping All Peoples continue its 80+ year legacy of service, self-determination, and resilience in South LA.
