Partnerships & Pride of Community.
Thank You Larry & Drew Miller from Sit N Sleep for taking care of our firefighters at Station 79. Your generosity will ensure they have a good night’s rest!! We are bringing the sparkle back to our business corridors. The transformation is slowly happening.
Working Towards More Resources.
Clean, Safe, & Healthy Streets Seems Simple Enough. However, it is requiring us to create new protocols to address old issues. We are making progress and will continue to fight for additional resources & services.
Our next step is creating the ability to get pertinent information out to the business community quickly, in real-time. Being able to provide up to the minute information regarding issues from fires, power outages, vandalism and accidents will help get the word out. Soon, our members will have the ability to report illegal dumping, compromised fire hydrants and other issues using this tool.
We Need Your Financial Support.
For the ten businesses in the Unincorporated LA County areas of East Gardena/West Rancho Dominguez that have supported our efforts and joined or renewed their memberships in the Chamber of Commerce, THANK YOU. Financially the work which is being done is unsustainable without the support of the business community. We are not going to be […]

Working Together To Clean Up Our Areas.
No Borders.
No Boundaries.
Working together is the only way we are going to have enough resources, manpower and support to solve the issues.
Last Friday, members from LA Sanitation were passing an area with a large amount of waste sitting on the sidewalk. They stopped and cleaned up the mess. Everyday, we are seeing more of this collaborative approach. Neighbors helping neighbors.
Homeless Outreach & Why It is Important To All of Us?
Ensuring everyone on our streets is seen and making the initial connection begins the healing process. Contact is made by myself, going RV to RV and asking what the people need in terms of services, medical help, and/or housing. I, generally start with questioning if they would use a dumpster to throw away their waste?
From this point, most are open to providing more information like name, phone number, etc. That information is then passed along to the homeless service providers. The work begins on a larger scale. Homeless outreach teams are deployed to the area and the relationship is created.
For our area, I have been actively following up with the service providers and their clients. Assisting in contacting local shelters checking on availability or finding additional resources for detox or rehab centers. It is ensuring those who are ready for the help are getting it. Our unorthodox approach has created positive results but has also been seen as overstepping our authority by some. Right now, it’s about ensuring everyone has access to help.
