Producer Marc Shmuger and his wife, Louise Hamagami, support several charities, some based in Los Angeles and some that work farther afield. Marc Shmuger and Louise Hamagami have been particularly active in supporting A Place Called Home (APCH), a charity that provides a community and support for children and teens in South Central LA.
There are many ways to get involved with A Place Called Home, ranging from making monetary donations to taking on leadership roles. The charity accepts onetime and ongoing gifts, and donors who give either $50 per month or $500 at once receive a CD of stories made by youths with memberships in APCH. APCH also gladly accepts the help of volunteers, who contribute over 30,000 hours every year helping out at events like the Thanksgiving Community Dinner, Back to School Fest, and the Cinderella and Prince Charming Project.
People looking to take on a more active role with the charity can apply to join its staff or become members of its board of directors. Young professionals looking to get involved in a board-member-like fashion can also join its leadership council, which provides a way to contribute and connect with civic-minded peers without requiring as large a financial commitment as board membership.
