This December, Elysian Valley United will begin organizing our new Food and Clothing Bank, which will operate out of the EVU Community Services Center, located at 2812 Newell Street in Los Angeles. The Bank will provide emergency food and clothing assistance to families and individuals in critical need throughout our service area, and the greater Northeast Los Angeles community.

Contributions from individuals and the community at large are greatly appreciated. We are asking for non-perishable food items, including canned goods, and staples such as rice, beans, and pasta. We are also working to find new or gently used clothing items for infants, toddlers, children, teens and adults - remember, during this time of year, winter weight clothing is a priority!

To find out more about the Food and Clothing Bank, or to offer a contribution, see us at the Community Center, or call Albert Vargas, Gloria Vargas, or Food/Clothing Bank Coordinator Mario Moya at (323) 666-9239.

Baldy to Malibu - from a rich history to the future of Los Angeles.
THE EARLY YEARS of Hollywood give Franklin Hills much of its historical luster. Silent movie classics were filmed in the area by directors like D. W. Griffith.

In the late 1920’s Walt and his brother Roy built matching houses at the corner of St. George St. and Lyric Ave. Along the five block walk between their houses and the studio site you’ll find the quaint cottages that inspired the home of the seven dwarfs in Snow White.

The Wildlife Area: This area was designed to restore and preserve the vegetation, flora and fauna of the original ecosystem most representative of this area, such as mangrove swamps and tropical dry forest, which in the past were abundant in the province of Guayas.
