FORAGING WALK — WILD FOOD OUTING

To attend and for exact location, register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/ethno-botanical-walk-2/) WILD FOOD FORAGING AND ETHNO-BOTANICAL WALK The lost art of foraging for one’s meals is experiencing a renaissance as we are seeking to learn the uses of the many wild plants growing everywhere. Learning about some wild foods imparts a feeling of self-confidence. You can use wild foods and wild herbs in times of need, or just because you want to add these nutritious foods into your daily diet. Join us for our outing where we explore the edible, medicinal, and other useful qualities of many of the plants found in the environment with many introduced plants. Both natives and non-natives will be seen. This will be leisurely and you will get a chance to taste some of the plants. We will introduce a few basics of systematic plant identification, and ways you can take your own records. We’ll also bring up another important point: Many of the wild plants that we see — and especially the non-natives — can be easily cultivated in your own yard for ease of harvesting. Also, we’ll tell you about some of the local native plant nurseries where you can obtain native plants — such as toyon, ceonothus, oak trees, mulefat, elder, etc — and grow them in your own yards, which is an ideal situation. Wear comfortable footwear and bring water. Bring a bowl for eating. This class can be credited towards the Ethno-botany certificate. Directions sent upon registration. $65 (Seniors and students $45).

The West LA/Culver City Vegan 🌱Joint Sunday Lunch Before Permanent CLOSURE! 😢

Join us for lunch this Sunday at The Vegan Joint in West LA/Culver City from 11am-1pm before their permanent closure of all three locations at the end of the month. (Allow for extra time for on-street parking as there is a Sunday farmers market where the street is closed in front of the restaurant) [Google Map Link to The Vegan Joint West LA/Culver City branch - 10438 National Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90034](https://maps.app.goo.gl/za6bJbTVJFhT3Eqs6) Phone: 310.559.1357 From [The Vegan Joint website](https://www.theveganjoint.com/): Our Story We are grateful to share our story with you and proud of the journey that brought The Vegan Joint to life. What began with cherished Thai family recipes has grown into a neighborhood favorite known for bold flavor, fresh ingredients, and a sense of home. Every dish carries a bit of tradition, a bit of creativity, and a lot of heart. If something on our menu does not remind you of home just yet, we are certain it will after a few more bites. Here, comfort, culture, and community come together in a way that feels familiar even if it is your first visit. The Vegan Joint West Los Angeles is a favorite destination for bold vegan comfort food and Thai fusion cuisine on the Westside. Known for flavorful plant-based dishes made with fresh ingredients and vibrant spices, we serve vegan and vegetarian meals that are satisfying, approachable, and full of personality. Join us for breakfast or lunch, order online for easy takeout, or stop in when you’re craving great vegan food in West LA. And from the owner, Rattana Hnoi, in a recent birthday video (subtitles): "So I'm turning 59. So after being dissolved for so long and been dealing with the business for 20 years, the last 6 years after COVID, it's been really hard on me. The end of this month, I think I'm going to close all 3 locations. Loan with SBA is too big for me to handle plus the economy and what's going on. It doesn't matter how much I try. It still doesn't matter how I try, it still doesn't turn out the way I wish. Come and support so I can pay the last payroll to my workers. I love them so much and I love you." 💝 Please come out to support this vegan restaurant before they close their doors. If you would like to come out to the farmers market, Ted and I will meet in front of the restaurant at 10am and walk around the farmers market before the restaurant opens at 11am. **DISCLAIMER: Group organizers and assistant organizers assume no liability; come at your own risk.

Urban Partners Los Angeles’ “Groceries for our Neighbors” food distribution program provides essential weekly groceries to thousands of low-income, homeless, and senior members of the community in Los Angeles. Volunteers make up a large part of the program, with a small number of staff members coming from the community we serve. This initiative has been a vital resource for those in need for over 32 years, and we are committed to continuing to support our community through it. Each week, approximately 35,000 people in our community struggle with food insecurity, and around 10,000 members may go without meals due to financial constraints. Our relief efforts aim to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry, especially vulnerable populations. We are dedicated to securing our food and funding reserves in order to respond effectively to emergencies and handle the ongoing pandemic and its aftermath, as well as future Crises. We distribute, on average, over 30,000 pounds of food every Saturday. Our goal is to provide enough groceries for a family of four to sustain themselves for one week. Our ability to continue to operate is due in large part to the generous support of businesses and individual donors who believe in our mission to alleviate hunger for struggling Los Angeles families. If you would like to join us on the frontlines and help fight hunger in our community, we welcome your assistance at our food bank. We operate on Saturdays from 6:00 am to 9:30 am, rain or shine, some holidays excluded. If you have any questions about volunteering with UPLA, please contact our volunteer coordinator at [urbanpartnerslosangeles@gmail.com](mailto:urbanpartnerslosangeles@gmail.com). We welcome the opportunity to have you join our team and make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. **Visit our food bank at the First Unitarian Church for assistance with groceries. We recommend bringing a cart when picking up food at our food bank to make it easier to transport your groceries home.** **WHERE**: 2936 W. 8th Street, Los Angeles **WHEN:** Saturdays, 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. (some holidays excluded)
