On Saturday April 16th Community Services Unlimited and numerous partners and sponsors will hold the 3rd annual Earth Day South LA Festival, an educational, fun and safe event for the whole family. Join us as we celebrate our collective vision for a more vibrant and earth-friendly South Los Angeles with this years¹ theme, energy conservation, visible throughout the event. Participate in service projects, all day activities for kids, cooking demos and workshops including gardening with natives, recycled art and yoga.
