It took some time to hear back from someone, which I totally understand since they are helping hundreds of families so I was totally okay with it. Maria Dominguez reached out to me via E-Mail and was a great help in explaining how everything was going to work and she was on point responding to my emails. Maravilla Foundation is a God sent for anyone struggling with these ridiculous bills lately. Thank you again to the foundation and Maria Dominguez for being so attentive and not making me feel like a failure for reaching out for help.

The hardest thing for me not many can guide you or inform you the people to take you to temporary housing and then permanent housing. Majority of people are not aware of the process it is not instant and takes time for myself and my brother it's almost a year and finding out people discriminate on the homeless whether it's a racist issue or stereo types it is sad we need kindness forward to try to make a little impact of a smile and saying good morning no one is better than other but the true kindness of the heart is priceless. Happy Holidays and always appreciate and thank God you are above being close to poverty you never know if that happens to you but be grateful.

It is 103 degrees. - Too much staff standing around and talking, not enough actual help. - I hate to leave a 1 star review but they get away with what they do because the people that utilize the facility don't want to risk being kicked out or face more discrimination from the employees. - I am leaving 3 stars because what they do is important but there needs to be better oversight and some sort of training on how to DE-ESCALATE situations (specifically the woman photographed that literally chased down my husband saying "do we have a problem)?" - Also, training in FEDERAL ADA Law and MEDICAL TRAINING for how to deal with mental illness & disability for staff to de ecalate and assist in situations should be MANDATORY at facilities like these. - Being scolded like a child or spoken to like a dog is unacceptable. - Final note, a social worker calling a trangender woman a HE, telling security to "Help HIM and get HIS things" is not okay; some sensitivity training could go a long way at this location.

I personally haven't held an event at this place, but when the opportunity knocks on my door, I definitely will. This review is kind of way overdue. My son and I were invited to 2 baby showers within 2 months a part. Different people. Service by the employees were impeccable. They were all nice, friendly and helpful. All ladies and gentlemen were on top of things to make sure everything was up to par. You can have any type of events from baby shower to wedding, to birthdays, baptism, to engagement parties, holiday gatherings, bridal showers and more. You can also bring your own food. I don't know if they provide that for their guests.Venue visits are by appointment only!!. They are open for Private event rentals, accommodate up to 150 guests. They also do volunteer Services to schools, libraries, churches and hospitals. As mentioned earlier each package is different with their pricing. Depending on what you are interested in. All are welcome!:-) Venue was very clean along with 2 restrooms. Ample parking and you can request any service from anyone, anytime. Established back in 1914. That should already say a lot about this venue!!!

What a fabulous organization! I found them through Volunteer match and was immediately drawn to…read morethem for 3 reasons -flexible, structured periods of time to volunteer. They don't give you an 8 hour window where you are required to attend - the food collected goes to local food organizations to feed the homeless throughout LA - it's a great excuse to get outdoors & get some exercise! Motivation I love the entire concept of this organization. It is challenging for the impoverished to get access to fresh fruit and produce. A low income man in the Midwest a few months ago went to the hospital and was diagnosed with Scurvy! Yes, like the pirates illness. Why? He was only eating cheap, frozen meals 3x a day for the past 18 mos., no fruit or produce, and was severely vitamin C deficient! MDs diagnosis, not mine. Access to healthy fruits and veggies is critical to health but can be challenging given the expense. In comes hero organization Food Forward! They pair up with local home owners who have excess fruit or veggies. They have volunteers come out to "pick" their excess fruit. The fruit is then taken to local food banks in the area and distributed outward. How cool is that? I spent 1.5 hrs with them picking grapefruit in Woodland Hills. It was such a fun way to volunteer my time but manageable enough to fit into my schedule. I loved it and look forward to volunteer with this terrific organization again in the future. Check them out!

If you're looking for volunteer opportunities or you're a home owner that has a fruit tree that is rarely harvested you should look up Food Forward.

They are part of a process that assists people in need.

I went to Goodwill instead. Super easy, pleasant and nice. Goodwill will get our donations moving forward.
