COMMUNITY BRIEFS
By Daily Press staff
It might just be the largest food pyramid in Santa Monica. Students from the Art Institute of California–Los Angeles located in Santa Monica, will build a large-scale sculpture made entirely of canned food, which will then be donated to the Westside Food Bank.
Students will be designing the identity for hunger awareness, which will include posters, banners and all promotional materials. The giant sculpture will be built and displayed in Clover Park, located at 25th Street at Ocean Park Boulevard. Large-scale canned food donations are still needed. Contact Allison, at (310) 828-6016, ext. 12 for more information.
Westside Food Bank supplies food to 65 social service agencies with food assistance programs in Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, West Los Angeles, Inglewood and West Hollywood. The bank’s food now reaches more than 80,000 people each year, half of whom are children.
Visit Clover Park at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6, to see the finished work. Westside Food Bank will be on site to accept canned food donations and to provide information on the problem of hunger. The event is free of charge and open to the public.
