    Came here Saturday to bring my puppy for her first set of shots and had the best service here. They…read moreallow puppies as young as 6 weeks to get their first set of vaccines. I walked in, filled out the form, and waited for about 20 mins with no appt. The girls that helped me out were so sweet and helpful. They took Apple Pay as a form of payment which was super convenient. The waiting area itself is kind of small, but they having some seating outside as well. The parking here gets packed as well. I had to park on the street and walk about to 2 mins to get there, so it wasn't anything crazy. Overall, great experience! I've been recommending this place to everyone lately.

    It was a pop-up location amd i appreciate the online image was accurate about times and location…read more Place used to be a BFAS so there were several parking spots (about 15) in the lot. Kind of disorganized since people didnt really line-up like instructed, and staff member wasnt keeping track of who came first. So I would recommend, if you can, going with someone so that one of you can get the form to fill out and the other can hold your pet. Just from experience, since mine was too anxious to get close and then some people didnt leash their dogs/kitties. But I came and received my pups low cost vaccines and the vet(vet tech?) was super gentle with her. Pretty much took only 45 minutes. And I received my booklet and receipt of the services I took. They accepted cash and credit card. Please note, credit card use has an additional charge.

    What a fabulous organization! I found them through Volunteer match and was immediately drawn to…read morethem for 3 reasons -flexible, structured periods of time to volunteer. They don't give you an 8 hour window where you are required to attend - the food collected goes to local food organizations to feed the homeless throughout LA - it's a great excuse to get outdoors & get some exercise! Motivation I love the entire concept of this organization. It is challenging for the impoverished to get access to fresh fruit and produce. A low income man in the Midwest a few months ago went to the hospital and was diagnosed with Scurvy! Yes, like the pirates illness. Why? He was only eating cheap, frozen meals 3x a day for the past 18 mos., no fruit or produce, and was severely vitamin C deficient! MDs diagnosis, not mine. Access to healthy fruits and veggies is critical to health but can be challenging given the expense. In comes hero organization Food Forward! They pair up with local home owners who have excess fruit or veggies. They have volunteers come out to "pick" their excess fruit. The fruit is then taken to local food banks in the area and distributed outward. How cool is that? I spent 1.5 hrs with them picking grapefruit in Woodland Hills. It was such a fun way to volunteer my time but manageable enough to fit into my schedule. I loved it and look forward to volunteer with this terrific organization again in the future. Check them out!

    I recently found out about Food Forward through the volunteer program at my job, they're a non…read moreprofit organization that works with private home owners & public companies picking fruit that normally won't be harvested & donated them to those in need. I got to work with them at their annual summer harvest at CSUN in Northridge, in two hours we gathered 5000 pounds of oranges to benefit MEND poverty in Pacoima, Family rescue center in Canoga Park, and Seeds of Hope in Los Angeles through the Episcopal Church. If you're looking for volunteer opportunities or you're a home owner that has a fruit tree that is rarely harvested you should look up Food Forward.

    One of my favorite locations...it's more than just a book store. Tia Chuchas is a community that…read morereflects strong values like inclusivity, sustainability and solidarity. The entire vibe from the moment you walk in feels welcoming. The events are sooo much fun, I highly recommend checking one out. The book selection is thoughtfully designed with diversity and representation in mind. It truly amplifies voices that are often underrepresented. I appreciate the resources for immigrant advocacy materials, support and fundraisers. They also host many community workshops, like sewing, hair braiding, and open mic events. Community building and creating resources for empowerment is one component. It's definitely not just a book store but a pillar in the community by creating space where identities are uplifted.

We arrived and checked in with no trouble (please note registration is required for events). There was a few set ups for the kids and each kid will then choose their controller. They started the tournament and it was so fun seeing all the kids in action. The staff was so friendly and provided food & drinks. This Event was completely free no cost. This is an amazing store with so much to look at and so many books to choose from. They will be having a few more events and you guys definitely need to to join me and the kids have already signed up for their Dia De Los muertos workshop. Can't wait.
