During the emergency relief distribution after the 2023 Planada flood, Tzu Chi volunteers found that local residents were in great need of medical services, so they expanded their services from charitable services to also include medical care.

At the invitation of Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis’s Office, Tzu Chi USA joined the Los Angeles County government’s annual festival for the unhoused on December 22, 2022, presenting services such as eye screenings to 200 unhoused attendees.

The kids couldn’t wait to put on their new glasses, and laughed heartily behind their masks, now that they could see the world clearly again.
