**December 2025: Sunday Late Morning Visit**…read more My friend and I finished our breakfast early and we still had time before our event so we decided to check out a thrift shop nearby. The Council Shop- Burbank was close by so we opted to make a detour. The shop is located right along the major street, but we lucked out with street parking right in front. The shop had a good variety of pretty much everything. There was a small/medium size area of men's clothing, home goods, and decor, while the store had a very robust selection of women's clothing. Many things were categorize with certain pricing; however, there were some items that were individually priced. I bought a pair of black suede made in Italy boots (which I loved) for $25 and a new with tags swimsuit for $11. I thin the quality of the donations they accept seem pretty high so the next time I come back to Burbank I'd be open to drop in again!

Celebrities Closets are a "Win-Win-Win-Win' for shoppers!…read more Win #1.- SELECTION: The selection of clothing and accessories, handbags and shoes for women, men (and NEW: dogs!) is wonderfully eclectic with unique one of a kind pieces that you won't see at the mall, or on anyone else! Win#2. -REAL CELEBRITY OWNED TREASURES the store is filled with valuable pieces donated by famous celebrities- both old and new, that truly allow you to walk away with your own couture look worn only by you, and the likes of JLO, Oprah, Idris Alba, and more! Best of all, while the owner is new to Sherman Oaks, she is very well known and connected to Hollywood and the music industries. Lateasha, the owner, is a fixture in the store, always there to help and to let you know who owned the items, and when known, when they wore them. A celebrity in her own right--(the daughter one of the original members of The Temptations), grew up amidst superstars, and she herself was a recording artist with Motown and on Broadway as well. She has SO MANY famous friends and her network supports her by regularly dropping off little pieces of history for you to own! Win #3-PRICES ARE INCREDIBLE! Even though she grew up with a silver spoon, Lateasha is deeply sensitive to the needs of various social economic groups, and wants the average woman or man shopping to have their own little piece of "the Rich and Famous", at incredibly reasonable prices (in some cases downright steals)! That is how giving and kind an operation Celebrities Closet is. Win #4-CHARITY A PART OF EVERY ITEM SOLD! Part of the entire business model of Celebrities Closet- unlike ANY other vintage store in LA, is about giving back. So a percentage of whatever incredibly reasonable priced item you buy is given to the CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE! Where else can you buy couture and feel like you are contributing to amazing places like ST. JUDE'S HOSPITAL, and the JUVENILE DIABETES ASSOCIATION? Even if you don't have a pet charity, a portion will still go to one of the charitable "store charities" such as the examples provided. Think you little purchases won't make a difference? Think again! To date, between their Atlanta store and Sherman Oaks store, Celebrities Closets has DONATED over $500,000 to worthy organizations helping people in need! As if all of these "wins" aren't enough, and the financial donations can certainly explain why not only actors and musicians donate there, but the Studios do too;- which explains the great diversity of selection. BUT WAIT...there is MORE!! EVERY WEEK, DONATIONS THAT DON'T SELL ARE BROUGHT DOWN TO SKID ROW AND PERSONALLY GIVEN TO THE NEEDY!

I thought that I'd have to pay hundreds but she has many things the celebs wore only once for $25! And the shop's mission is the best - items sold help support each stars' charity. How cool is that? Wonderful experience - tell Lateasha Pam says hi!

Los Angeles Shambhala I wonder how much the recent and ongoing controversies surrounding Shambhala had an impact on the organization, as well as the obvious pandemic issues.

Good morning, Los Angeles! I thought I'd write an update with more detail for people who have…read morenever been here before. The Shambhala Meditation Center of Los Angeles is part of an international community of meditators founded in the 70s by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and now headed by his son, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Shambhala is dedicated to the practices of sitting meditation and "meditation in action", incorporating dharma arts and other contemplative disciplines with the view of creating enlightened society. Shambhala offers many opportunities for people new to meditation to sit with an instructor one-to-one or with a group of fellow newbies. If you're new to the practice and you'd like individual instruction, I suggest coming on Sunday morning anytime between 9:00 AM and noon. (The closer to 9:00 AM, the better.) You can receive brief instruction in sitting and walking meditation and then join the group for all or part of the group practice. Public group practice also happens on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM, and you can receive individual instruction at that time as well. If you'd prefer to meet other beginners and learn to meditate in a group setting, you can come to the monthly "Learn to Meditate" night, the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month, 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Other Thursday night programs focus on teachings by Pema Chodron, noted Shambhala Buddhist teacher, author and practitioner, or introductory dharma talks from senior students of Shambhala. If the initial instruction sparks interest and you want to go deeper, Shambhala is a feast of teachings. They offer a number of weekend and evening programs in meditation and contemplative arts such as flower arranging, archery, writing...there is something for everybody here. The Shambhala Training program is a particularly potent path of meditation study and practice, done over a series of weekends. It's not necessary (or even an advantage) to be a Buddhist in order to learn to meditate...Shambhala welcomes all.

They are part of a process that assists people in need. It takes time for people with things to donate to drop them off, and to be told that they are not accepting donations at a given time is a shame and contrary to the mission they represent. I went to Goodwill instead. Super easy, pleasant and nice. Goodwill will get our donations moving forward.

I used to volunteer at this NHIFP for almost a year back in 2017-and 2018. Due to certain…read morecircumstances, I didn't want to be part of their volunteer program. They moved few doors down. That is not the reason why. Living literally 5 minutes away from this food bank, (walking distance), I still wanted to be some sort of help to them and help the homeless community and feed the hungry people that are practically everywhere. They have couple of entrances adjacent to eachother and are affiliated with the church next door. With that being said, I packed up a bag of goodies and walked over there at 8:15AM on 7/27/26. They are only open on Mondays and Fridays. (Please update your hours on Yelp so you don't confuse people). Some volunteer workers really go out of their way to help people, and a few others will give you a blank, confused, and lost stare that makes you feel very small, like Daniel the other day. On the bright side, Barbra and the director of this food bank named Sloan were helpful, kind, positive, softspoken and knowledgeable. Anyway, packed my bag with: 2 boxes of Rice-a-Roni Pasta, 2 cans of Progresso Chicken Noodle soup, 1 box of family size Kellogs Berry cereal, variety of Oatmeals, 4 Toto Cookies. Some other types of canned food, 2 boxes of Macaroni & Cheese, 1 bag of Plain Bagels, (count of 6), one big box of Macadamia Nut cookies, and a single, small, lonely chips. This is NOT my first time donating food to them. I have seen a few perishable and non-perishable items/products with expired dates on them. That is UNACCEPTABLE!! They wouldn't eat it, so why give it to someone else?? This pantry is only donations for food/beverages. Nothing else. They also get food from our local supermarkets such as Ralphs, Vons, Trader Joe's, and Sprouts. Before they open, there is a long line outside to pick up a bag or two. Overall, it's not a bad place, but few volunteers need to go that extra mile, put a genuine/sincere smile on their faces and pretend not to be SO pretentious.. The value of the food is what you make it to be!
