United Way of Greater Los Angeles
"We are committed to ensuring that people can meet their basic needs in the moment, whether it’s because of emergencies like wildfires and pandemics, or ongoing crises like poverty."
"We organize, strategize, and activate the community into action so that we can create shared prosperity, together. We are confident that by uplifting the collective experience and resources of people and partners, we can navigate the most complex issues facing our communities."
Falling Fruit
"Falling Fruit is a celebration of the overlooked culinary bounty of our city streets. By quantifying this resource on an interactive map, we hope to facilitate intimate connections between people, food, and the natural organisms growing in our neighborhoods. Not just a free lunch! Foraging in the 21st century is an opportunity for urban exploration, to fight the scourge of stained sidewalks, and to reconnect with the botanical origins of food."
