The Windsor Square-based grassroots action group Hang Out Do Good (HODG) is organizing an Eco Street Fair this Sunday, May 7 from 1- 4 p.m. at 546 N. June Street in Hancock Park.
“It will be a free, fun, family-friendly afternoon where people can educate themselves about how to take better care of our beautiful Earth,” Jennifer Levin, one of the founders of HODG, told the Buzz.
HODG is collaborating with Streets for All, CALPIRG (the California Public Interest Research Group), LA San, the City’s Sanitation Department and a host of others (listed below) to provide information on the latest rebates, the new recycling programs, and how to join an urban farm. There will be games, giveaways, Earth-kind food, and lots of other family fun.
“We’re asking everyone to bring their own water bottles too, and we’ll have a leave-one/take-one table for clothing,” Rhonda Hayter, one of the organizers told the Buzz. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and will have loads of inspiration and information!”
Everyone’s welcome! Tickets are FREE, but limited, so please RSVP. It helps organizers plan activities.
