They focus on the quality of life for thousands of families in Los Angeles every day, serving the communities of South Los Angeles, Compton, Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale, Long Beach, Lynwood and surrounding areas.
The Community Health Council Chief Executive Officer Veronica Flores was also helping out on Friday and she stated, “Our reaction when COVID happened, we knew because we been working with these communities…We knew one of the major issues was food access, but COVID just made it uglier than ever.
So we were able to secure the dollars in support with First Five L.A. to really fund four communities in Compton and three others in South L.A., so we been supplying boxes of food every week for eight weeks,” Executive Officer Flores announced that the collaboration is extending another two weeks.
Leadership from Best Start Grace Weltman shared many of the people in these communities are not doing well, and some people from the same area, facing the same drought in access and support came to volunteer week after week.
