Just like another poster said, the information on their website completely different from how they…read moreactually operate. I've been here from groceries before and I saw online that they offered rental assistance (I lost my job and still don't know how I'm gonna pay this month rent) So gathered all the documents that they listed were required, I printed out the form on the website, filled in out and gave it to my landlord to complete, got my bank statements and all my other documentation together. (the website just states to drop the documents off in person or mail them) So I called to see if I could come in to drop everything off and that's when I was told, I had to have been receiving other services from them for at least the last 6 months to qualify for rental assistance and also they were not accepting applications until September. SO WHY WAS NONE OF THAT ON THE WEBSITE? Why are there detailed instructions about how to apply and instruction to mail the application without the rest of the information? I EMBARRASSED myself by taking the form to my landlord and having him sigh it all to be told it was for nothing? It's ridiculous and actual insanity that they they don't give ALL the information online. It definitely makes me think they say one thing to get funding... and then tell the community something else. SHADY beyond belief.

They are involved in many worthwhile community ministries that I enjoy like feeding the homeless, providing shelter, building homes in Tijuana, etc. I know this because they have pictures of their many ministries in the narthex. A great church. Worth checking out if you are in the mood for a nice neighborhood worship experience.

With so many people effected by the pandemic, the state of the world, general health, the fires, the economy and wellness as well as the job market I've known/know many people who benefit from organizations like LAFH - who seem to be the most thorough, compassionate and active in Los Angeles. I've been lucky enough to help with on site gardening #greenthumb, homeless connect days, donation kits and even fundraising.

**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!

Compared to other thrift shops I've been to, this store is on the smaller end, but it has a pretty good selection of clothing, housewares, electronics, decor items, toys, books, cds, etc. They pack in a pretty good variety of merchandise! Although I didn't find any items to rescue, I'll be sure to come back soon to check out what becomes available. The store is pretty clean and organized, thanks to hardworking staff. The staff was also pretty friendly and welcoming. There should be plenty of parking at the front of the store on Magnolia, but there's also a parking lot at the back of the store, where donations are also happily received. On the day that I stopped by, the donations area was buzzing with activity, with at least 5 donors dropping off, and I'll be sure to come back soon.
