“This place is a staple in West LA! I stop by every chance I can - they always have new items being put on the floor, all reasonably priced and great sales and events. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, especially Em! I tell everyone I know to go stop in and check out the great selection at this store. I highly recommend it!”
“Went with the family on a Saturday afternoon to see and learn about unique animals. The girls (age 5) truly enjoyed their time as the tour was very informative and interactive, a lot was learned during that 45-60 tour. A variety of unique and ecotic animals are there (reptiles, birds, fish, a big cat, a fox, tarantulas, and more) along with their unique backstory.Getting there you have to slow down as you near, its a turn onto a small street into a business center where parking is shared with other businesses, buts theres sufficient space on the weekend. Small wait time as you wait for the tour guide to finish another tour and your time to arrive, but outside they gave a play area to pass the time or rest. Great staff as well, the overall experience was great and wellworth it.”

“SOVA has helped me in many ways for many years. These are dedicated heroes. Lisa A. Wiley was a wonderful worker & friend to me. She moved north. But Dennis is still there. The best food pantry in Los Angeles County.”
“The MOTION PICTURE & TELEVISION FUND's Wasserman Campus provides a place to thrive for retired industry professionals.
The campus is entered at Stephen Spielberg Drive. The 22 acre site is beautifully maintained with walking paths through manicured gardens, Koi ponds, topiary, statuary, cottages, apartments, a state of the art movie theater, there's even a small production studio, exercise facilities, pool complex, library, medical facilities, dining rooms, and much, much more.
Eligibility requires years of activity in the motion picture and/or television Industries. You must be 70 years or older to register; to be able to share "war" stories with your funny, warm, and brilliant colleagues. (Certain medical conditions allow for earlier entry.)
I registered at MPTF at 70 years. Thirteen years later, I updated my application from inactive to active.
Then the process got serious.
Admission required supplying years of medical and financial records. Even our dog's vaccination records were required. (Pets are allowed.)
After analysing our records, we were invited to 3 hours of meetings with a social worker, nurse, recreational therapist, and the move-in coordinator. Each listened to our personal experiences and painted a picture of what to expect at MPTF. Several hours later, a telephone call notified my wife and myself, that we were invited to join the community.
We hired a downsizing expert to help with the move. Seems that living for years in the same home leads to collections of many, many things.
After days of packing and donating, Precision Moving, led by a team headed by Jose, moved us in a couple of days. (Not a single item was broken.)
It is common knowledge that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. Well, I’ve reevaluated. Here, everyone is welcoming. Quite honestly, it feels as though we had joined a production on the first day of a shoot. We are greeted by welcoming, warm people, both colleagues and MPTF's staff.
The campus is beautifully manicured. We have moved into a modern, comfortable cottage.
The dining room is comfortable. The menu changes daily. The meals are delicious and well presented. I'm doing a bit of vegan cooking in our cottage's tiny kitchen, although the Chef's encompassing menu includes several vegan dishes.
Today, at a community meeting with Chef Dan and members of MPTF staff, the residents discussed additions and changes to the current menu. I'm told, after these meetings, many of the suggestions are followed. An electric cart carried us to the event across campus.
I'm writing this review after our second week as residents. I'll update.
If you're wondering how MPTF came to life, the story.
The glare of electric current arcing between carbon rods produced choking smoke. Movie making required unwieldy, dangerous equipment. Production hours are impossibly long. Stunts are often too real. The "below-the-line" workers, the "little people" lived and died in poverty.
Something needed to be done.
Relief began with coin boxes on production stages and commissaries where employed industry workers could drop spare change to help support their unemployed colleagues.
Over a hundred years ago "The Motion Picture Relief Fund" came to life by the actions of "above-the-line" actors, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and director, D.W. Griffith. They realized the need to reach out to those, in the business, who fell upon hard times.
Today, top industry professionals (i.e., director, Steven Spielberg and actors, George Clooney, Tom Cruise and Jodie Foster) support and help grow the renamed The Motion Picture & Television Fund.
“This place is a GEM and so is Arlene! Came in to find a dress for a last minute party and I just have to say wow! The most amazing selection of quality dresses, accessories and shoes and so much more! And on top of it, all proceeds go to benefit homeless pets! They also accept donations. What an amazing store and a great cause! So happy I found this local store to shop!”
“We just had my daughter’s birthday party at the Rediscover Center Venice, and it was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the experience was magical—not just for the kids but for the parents, too.
The hands-on crafting activities were beyond amazing. The Rediscover Center provides a treasure trove of recycled materials, sparking creativity in ways I’ve never seen before. From building robots and fairy houses to making tiaras and race tracks, there was something for everyone. The kids were completely engaged, and even the parents got involved, which made it even more special!
The staff was phenomenal—so patient, encouraging, and hands-on with everyone. They made sure each child felt supported and inspired, guiding them through their creations with warmth and enthusiasm. Their passion for creativity and sustainability truly shines through.
Everyone who attended couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. This will be a truly unforgettable experience for my daughter, and I can’t wait to come back for more creative fun! If you’re looking for a unique and memorable party venue (or just a place to get crafty), I highly recommend the Rediscover Center.
Thank you for an amazing time!”
“If u want to adopt a dog, Wags is the place for u. As a volunteer, it is such a pleasure to be a part of such a caring, professional and knowledgeable non profit. Over 5,000 dogs have been saved and found their forever home thru Wags. ??”
“Great place and area to go and enjoy nature, whether it be to hike, relax and soak in the beauty of trees and all within city limits. Just a wonderful and amazing place.. definitely recommended to check out..”
“Wonderful Foundation and such an amazing person for everything they do for the rescue and animal world!These types of people are hard to come by and very rare in this world now but I'm so glad they still exist. Keep up the great work and good things will always be in your favor.”
“This place is great , super organized Clean,and the best of this location is the crew Look for Briana.she is so nice ,always willing to help you,so is the manager Norma I love this place”
“I took a young friend years back and they were very instrumental in helping her with a disability find a dwelling. She always spoke well of it's helpfulness.I also took another friend who who was seeking aide for a relative. I would recommend it.”
“We were here last Saturday for a party for my grand niece. It was a beautiful night to be outside. Tables were set up and they have lights hanging which is pretty. There was a DJ and it was a nice area to set up the buffet. Restrooms are inside and there is plenty of parking behind across the street. GPS makes it awkward to find the parking though.”
“The basketball program is ????! Lamondo Greer is amazing at running basketball, and they have freshly renovated outside courts. Could use some benches for the courts, though....bring a lawn chair.”
“I am in my late 80ts. I have a difficult time getting around, Dr's, marketing. The church, was there for me !! They have a special program for people like me, ANGELES. I have been able to not worry about getting to a Dr and market because of these Brentwood Presbyterian church angels. I try not to take advantage of their services unless it's really important”
“This place is heaven sent. I have personally donated unopened formula, diapers, new clothes and stuff and they’re super nice and accommodating with whoever wants to donate or volunteer.”
“Good place for events, dinners, reunions. Clean, cozy well equipped yo handle your needs. Wifes Venice High School class recently held a 50 Year Graduation Reunion there....all had a great time.Well equipped bar and good bartenders.”
“The support that Breaking Barriers gives my son is fantastic. The staff member who my son works with is great with him. I couldn't ask for a better person to help my son.”
“This is a Jewish faith based addiction rehabilitation center. Not just alcohol and drugs, but gambling, eating disorders, etc. This is also my family. How do you describe your family? As well as i describe my birth family, i describe this place as the reason i am alive. Intelligent, dramatic, loving, insightful, in the know, innovative, pioneering, rigorous but most importantly a safe haven to find yourself with like minded people and just home. They forever changed my life. I am so grateful for the opportunities they offered me and the lifelong friendships that i formed and participate in to this day. If you feel like you dont belong anywhere and your Jewish or not in some cases, if you struggle with any kind of addiction or something that keeps leading you to a place you dont want to be anymore. If you love music, yoga, surfing, people you can count on to show up for you, if you are willing to make changes in your life and discover what your real passion is. Well....welcome to beit t'shuvah(which means in hebrew House of Return)....and welcome to the rest of your life. As the rabbi used to say when the community welcomes you into the house at your first shabbos...HANG ON ita going to be a wild ride.Oh yeah, highly recommended!!!!!!!”
“Jesse Peterson and the folks at B.O.N.D. Seem to be one of the only nonprofits worth a dime. They tackle humanity’s core issue - hatred. They are truly reuniting men and women, black and white.”

“This rescue does nothing but good in this world! The rescue injured doggies and the pay for surgeries and treatments where others would have walked away. I can't thank the people of K911 ResQ enough for what they do. They rescued Vito, a paralyzed pup, got him physical therapy and now he's been able to move a little more than he used to. God bless you!”
“826LA -- The Time Travel Mart is an incredibly unique and fun spot in Los Angeles. There are plenty of gifts and fun supplies that help fund the organization's community education program. There are plenty of items that harken to being in a spot out of time: BC/AD stickers, mammoth milk, and other items. I even bought a fun wallet set made from a design by a local kid. The shopkeeper was really kind and made fun conversation while I got to peek around.”
“Thank you to Christian and Marisol for being such friendly staff. I moved further away but enjoyed the gym and pool here and feel the community vibes ❤️ sometimes they’d have free veggies and Covid tests which I thought was cool!”

“I’d like to share that I was in the store today and a very rude woman was making racist comments and the two volunteers working at the store asked her to leave and she refused and then she physically assaulted of the women and it was disgusting to watch. This is a beautiful store that does great work for an amazing cause and the volunteers working there did not deserve to be treated like that. Please have respect when you shop at this establishment.”
“Cornerstone retreats are free divine gifts that occur once a year. Stephen’s ministry is free year long companion walk in anyone’s trial or hardship. The bereavement ministry heals broken hearts and spirits. All pretty much for free. Come give and take. ALL ARE WELCOMES”
