びびなび : ロサンゼルス : (アメリカ合衆国) Los Angeles

Dear Friends,

It’s been an exhausting few weeks for thousands of displaced families and kids. To offer some levity, connection, and emotional support, our Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation (https://parks.lacounty.gov/care-camps/) has been hosting Care Camps (https://parks.lacounty.gov/care-camps/) to bring fun hands-on activities to children impacted by the Eaton Fire. Last Friday, I got the privilege of joining families at a Care Camp (https://parks.lacounty.gov/care-camps/) site at The Arboretum (https://arboretum.org/) for a free concert by Las Cafeteras (https://lascafeteras.com/) . The joy and lightness of live music was such a needed time of rest, respite, and restoration for these residents.

Through next week, Care Camps will continue to offer music, arts and crafts, sports, food, and field trips for children and teens. I'm grateful for all the community organizations and partners like the Dodgers (https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/community/foundation) , The Music Center (https://www.musiccenter.org/) , Natural History Museum (https://nhm.org/) , LA Phil (https://www.laphil.com/) , Department of Arts and Culture (https://www.lacountyarts.org/) , and so many others who have partnered with Parks to bring this amazing programming to our communities when they need it most. Healing happens together, and Care Camps (https://parks.lacounty.gov/care-camps/) are a reminder that Altadena residents have the full support of countless people who care.

Best wishes,
Kathryn Barger
Chair of the Board
Supervisor, Fifth District

Meet Lydia, a gentle and smart two-year-old German Shepherd mix, and Max, an energetic and playful one-year-old German Shepherd mix. Both of these adorable dogs are staying at our Palmdale Animal Care Center, which is open for walk-ins Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you have a soft spot for furry friends, you can donate to efforts underway by our County Department of Animal Care and Control and Pasadena Humane. Their staff and volunteers are ensuring displaced animals have all the love, food, and medical care they need as we recover from the Eaton Fire.

In a time when our residents are most in need, I’m so heartened by how compassionate individuals, nonprofits, private partners, and governments are coming together to lend a helping hand. I was blown away by the efforts underway at New Revelation Baptist Church (https://www.instagram.com/newrevelationbaptistchurch) I saw last week to serve fire-impacted residents and businesses. They hosted an incredible giveaway with clothing, suitcases, laptops, and more in partnership with Los Angeles Urban League (https://laul.org/) , She Ready Foundation (https://www.shereadyfoundation.org/) , Special Needs Network (https://snnla.org/) , and our L.A. County Internal Services Department (https://isd.lacounty.gov/) .
Support their efforts. (https://www.givelify.com/donate/MTQ1MTk=?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaZjbJdJlIFxi9dkCtJIfaKuXRsw7LnT6-0MVpYZ6dtGGQVYI7g0sVJBqcs_aem_Pse-d6H2xPG25g_LrkmSJA)
