I came across to Antelope Valley Partners for Health (AVPH) because a dear friend introduce me to it. When I visited, the place was so inviting and welcoming. I was impressed to hear about all programs free of charge they offer to anyone in need. I thought to myself, this is something everyone should know. As a mother of twins, I am always looking for opportunities to raise my children right, but not all the time I have the means to pay for programs to enhance their lives. I found out AVPH has some tutoring for my teenage girls. Also, about the parenting classes, or zumba lessons for myself. They told me sometimes teens can gather just to play video games together. I learned after about the Food Pantry that offers free groceries every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month. If people want they could also get a hot meal along with their fresh groceries. To my surprised, this December some Christmas trees arrived and were given away during the "Food Pantry" hours, first come serve basis. The atmosphere was so enjoyable as the members were wearing Christmas hats and socks. With all this pandemic going on, AVPH has free Covid vaccines available, just find out when is the next coming event. I was also able to donate blood at a Red Cross Blood Drive that took place at AVPH this last December. I recommend this place to any person. They are looking for families, children, teenagers, and seniors wellbeing.

Instantly, after walking in and seeing the prices, and then reading what they posted on the screen. We said peace out. Obviously, there is a problem if people are complaining about your prices. It seems like common sense to me that if your prices are reasonable, people are going to buy it up. If you overprice your items, people are going to walk out, just like we did. We will never go back.

Ms.Latoyia is like the mom I never had and I'm super happy to have met her and ALL the staff here. Being consistent and honest with myself and others has broken me free from old mindsets and behaviors. In the beginning everything that I was going through seemed like the worst thing that could happen to me but it was really a blessing in disguise. Definitely a 10/10 and would recommend it to any man or woman with similar circumstances.

A Life-Changing Experience…read more I truly don't know where I would be today without Ms. La Toyia Conway Hampton and her incredible organization. During one of the most painful and challenging times in my life -- facing false allegations and going through a high-conflict divorce -- Ms. La Toyia stood by me with compassion, strength, and unwavering support. Even though I've always had a healthy and loving relationship with my children, I was put in a heartbreaking position that limited my time with them. I chose to voluntarily go through her program because I wanted to keep growing, stay strong, and prove my commitment -- not just to the system, but to myself. Ms. La Toyia helped me get through a difficult trial and guided me through powerful classes like parenting, anger management, sexual assault awareness, and personal development. She taught me communication skills and how to better handle toxic or high-conflict situations. She helped me sharpen tools I already had -- and gave me new ones that made me stronger, wiser, and more grounded. Her support carried me through one of the darkest tunnels of my life, and because of her, I was able to come out on the other side with clarity and hope. Ms. La Toyia, thank you for believing in me when everything felt uncertain. Your work matters -- and you make a lasting impact on lives, including mine. Forever grateful, Lauren Shinwari

It was... weird. I went yesterday with some aluminum to recycle, because a friend had been a…read morecostumer a long time ago and spoke highly of them. I brought some scrap aluminum peices not realizing they only accept crv cans. My issue was not with this, but with the "service". A blonde man came out and said can I help you and I told him yes they were recommended so I brought aluminum left over from a project. He seemed short with me, We only accept aluminum cans for crv! No worries! I was just surprised because he was interrupting me and acting agitated. I told him thanks, and went to my brother behind me so we could regroup and go somewhere else. He came back out a minute later and asked us to pull through to leave. I was like, huh ? There was zero anyone there. We couldn't have been much in the way, lol. But I immediately go to my car to leave, while mentioning i was a little disappointed that he was so terse and unhospitable, esp. After the place bring so highly recommended. He then throws his hands up and says What do you want me to do !? WE ONLY TAKE CANS! I was kinda surprised but he def dident seem to realize he wasent exactly exuding professionalism or hospitality, lol. He dident "get" it... yes your not making an immediate sale, but now your first impression has guaranteed that at least for me, you will NEVER get a second chance to make a sale. The place look charming, but I won't be back. It's a shame but for such a young person (late 20's?) He sure did seem to have a hair up his crawl !
