May 2017. Can you make a meal on $1.47?


Can you make a meal on $1.47?

That is the challenge many families face every day. One in five DC residents receives just $4.40 per day to buy food.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, provides monthly benefits to low-income households to help them buy food. This is an essential program that helps millions of people keep food on the table, but the current benefit level is too low for many.
As we highlight the importance of our work, during Community Action Month, we also want to raise awareness about the obstacles our customers face.

We are hosting a week-long SNAP Challenge! We have asked staff and supporters to limit food and drink spending to $22 for the work-week.

Throughout the week, we'll share their struggles, triumphs, and overall experience. Join in or follow along using
#UPOSNAPChallenge to find out how SNAP benefits affect poverty levels and overall health. This is an opportunity to spread the message to family, friends, and coworkers, about why #SNAPMatters.

May 8, 2017. Los Angeles, CA. The Vision Theatre at Leimert Park

Vision Theater Consortium

Los Angeles, CA (April 28, 2017) Veteran of stage and screen, Ted Lange is directing a staged reading of Los Angeles Playwright Charles Sullivan’s new play Devil Works on May 8th at 7 p.m. at The Vision Theatre at Leimert Park (3341 W 43rd Place, Los Angeles,90008). The cast includes Cal Wilson, Tiffany Adams, Richard Caines, Andrew Walker, Bruce Cervi, Steve Ducey, and Donn Swaby.

Devil Works is a dark comedy that deals with the real or imaginary accounts of a writer’s close encounters with the devil; a devil who he, along with his brother created in a television series, and subsequently tried to kill off when the series ended.

What follows is a bizarre series of events that pits the Devil against his creators and his determination to get revenge, not because the series was cancelled, but because he was left disabled. You see he’s confined to a wheelchair, and it’s not the nature of the devil to be confined in any manner.

Tickets are $10 at the door with all proceeds going to support Vision Theatre at Leimert Park. The Vision Parking Lot on Degnan Boulevard at the rear of the Theater and surrounding Street Parking is available.

For information call (323) 290-2386

The Vision Theatre is operated by the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
