We are proud to announce that the Latino Diabetes Association (LDA) has been selected as a partner organization in the L.A. County Employee Charitable Giving Campaign (CGC) — giving County employees a powerful new way to support diabetes prevention, education, and care in our communities.

Through this partnership, L.A. County employees can become LDA Champions to Stop Diabetes by making a recurring or one-time contribution directly through the Charitable Giving Campaign. Every donation — large or small — helps us expand programs that provide culturally responsive diabetes education, screenings, nutrition guidance, support groups, and resources for families affected by diabetes and pre-diabetes.

Why This Partnership Matters

Diabetes continues to disproportionately impact Latino families in Los Angeles County. Many individuals face barriers such as limited access to healthcare, language differences, and lack of preventive education.

By choosing LDA through the CGC, County employees are helping to:

• Fund community-based workshops and prevention programs

• Support early detection and screening initiatives

• Empower families with tools to manage diabetes and live healthier lives

• Reduce long-term health complications that can be life-threatening and costly

Together, we can make meaningful progress toward healthier neighborhoods and stronger families.

How L.A. County Employees Can Enroll

Participating in the Charitable Giving Campaign is simple. Employees may designate LDA as their charity of choice and set up their contribution directly through the county portal. Contributions can be managed through payroll deduction or as a one-time donation, making it convenient to support the cause throughout the year.

Join Us in Stopping Diabetes

When employees and community partners come together, we create real and lasting change. We are deeply grateful to the L.A. County Charitable Giving Campaign for recognizing the importance of diabetes prevention and inviting LDA into this vital effort.

We invite every L.A. County employee to stand with us — as a Champion to Stop Diabetes — and help advance health equity across our communities.
