We always get something from small axe bread and mom's hummus for the week. Also a couple seasonal fruits from the large corner tent with all the samples. They're a little pricy but the stone fruit has been far superior than the grocery stores. We've tried the açaí bowl, pizza, bagels, and they're all good! There's another section where they sell artisanal items such as magnets, tote bags, jewelry, clothes, etc. An easy Saturday morning activity. It's great to support local, catch some sun, and kid friendly!

I wish I went here first instead of spending a ton of money scouting deals off fb marketplace for…read moretools and parts to fix up my bike. Back in the day, I did use to own a ton of tools to fix up my bikes but I left the sport and got rid of most of them. I recently bought a vintage bike off marketplace and just wanted to swap out the pedals to grippy flats. I ended up destroying 3 wrenches and wrecked my knuckles trying to get one pedal that appeared to be welded to the crank set. Nothing I did worked, so I decided to come here instead. I love the whole concept of this place. It is a community hub to go and get your bike taken care of. They have a ton of old parts available and it is incredibly cheap. I was able to use shop time at $15 an hour and the volunteers helped me fix up my bike and provide tips on how to fix things up. Nobody was able to get the pedal off, so I was able to buy a used crank set for like $5. Insane. I don't think I could have beaten that hunting for deals in fb marketplace. They're a great nonprofit and they sell a ton of used bikes as well. Out the door, with the parts, and shop time, I was only out $40. With the time, I was able to swap out the bottom bracket with a good used one, used crank set, and true 4 wheels. Insane. Normally at a bike shop that probably would have been a few hundred dollars to have a mechanic do it. I would highly recommend anyone who is handy and wants to learn how to wrench on a bike come here.

She has on her website a request form to book a 30 minutes meeting…read more I requested that and got an auto confirmation. Of course I sent a brief. A day later she canceled and this was her statement "I apologize but I am not interested. I am too swamped to commit to this service. Thank you for your consideration. " I think she wanted to say I do not know how to handle a complicated rental income LLC with foreign members. or she is short on staff. Either way that was unprofessional answer in my opinion at least. She should have accepted and listen to what I have or maybe refer me to someone who knows how to handle my company. Better yet, update your website. She was recommended for this specific service by Chat GPT.

Through a school project on child development, I initially found out about this nonprofit…read moreorganization. After getting pregnant, I enrolled in their classes, which were helpful before giving birth. During my postpartum period, I attended "Mommy and Me" and "Family and Me" classes. In "Mommy and Me," I had Ms. Lety, who welcomed me warmly everyday in her class. With her experience and education, she listened to and understood us new mom. Since her class was full, I took a class with Ms. Gaby instead. Unfortunately, it was unpleasant. I felt like she tried too hard to be liked and understand our perspective, but judged me harshly instead. Her vibe seemed off, like she was hiding her true self. I wouldn't recommend her class. Not to mention, other moms also felt the same way towards Ms. Gaby, that they also mention they dropped or stopped going to her class. I thought it was just me. However, Larissa's visits were helpful throughout my motherhood journey. I'm grateful for her hard work over the past two years. She's the best, and my daughter loves her.

I couldn't be happier to support nonprofit so committed to excellence and advocacy for our most vulnerable, including children who have been abused, neglected, exploited or fleeing conflict or violence in their country of origin. Crittenton has a strong reputation in our community and amongst our partners in law enforcement, child welfare, and mental health, for doing whatever it takes to support and build resilience in some of our most at-risk and vulnerable youth. It is for this reason that we are the go-to provider for youth and families that demonstrate the most need. Nationally, Crittenton has an 130+ year legacy of serving and advocating for children who have been marginalized, abused, exploited and neglected. Here in Southern California, we recently celebrated our 50th anniversary, a milestone unfortunately not experienced by most social service agencies in our field of practice. I'm excited to be a part of an organization that has a highly respected and admired staff of nationally-recognized experts, compassionate service-providers, and relentless advocates. Here's to the next 50 years of service to our children and to our communities!
