Community.

In October, the Los Angeles City Council honored Green Meadows All-Stars as they secured their FIRST citywide championship title in both Minor & Major divisions in the Spring of 2023 PLAYLA Baseball League. Hearing their stories of overcoming adverse conditions while practicing on the field, learning to lay flat during drive by shootings and other issues, I knew we needed to do more for these kids. The Green Meadows Recreation Center is located in LA City Council District 9 and shares a boundary with Supervisor Mitchell District 2. Many of the children live in the Florence Firestone neighborhood. We were able to raise funds for an In N Out food truck and are working with Nike for some donated uniform pieces. When we reached out to the park asking what we could do for the kids, they were surprised we wanted to help since this is not an area we cover. This could be any of our neighborhoods. These could be our children. We are committed to reshaping our communities into safer, cleaner, healthier areas.
