“LBMC is the real deal, the depth of knowledge and practice are of a quality on par with that of the best schools.For years I have dreamt about finding a Sanga with teachers like a Jack Kornfield. LBMC has fulfilled that dream. If you are interested in the practice of meditation and getting some of the best instruction in the Dharma, LBCM is the place to connect with.I am so grateful for my teachers at LBMC. Thank You!Vincent Caballero member since 2016”

“I love this place, overall much cleaner than 24 Hour Fitness in Cypress/Los Alamitos. The evening hours are however lacking. Closing at 9p is a bit short. Extended hours to at least 11p would be great.”
“3/5/23 Urban farming in the middle of Compton! Support local farmers/vendors every other Sunday 8am-1 pmI was fortunate enough to tag along with my bro, test driving the Car of the Future-Faraday Future FF91. It's a triple treat: hanging out with my brother, visiting on the farms, riding in the car of the future. Life is an endless realm of possibilities!!The farm started with the crew's huddle right before 8am-inspirational! Bro & I checked out the farm & see what's growing: broccoli, radish, kale. Collard green, glowers & herbs. Bought a couple of bouquets & some raisin rolls.It's always so positively awesome after coming by & embracing nature's harvest, meeting the crew. Kudos to Richard, Mario & Mando-such friendly people. Highly recommend this place, it's small but big on freshness & customer service!!”

“I had an amazing experience adopting from SBACC. They rescued Aubrey from a kill shelter after an Uber Eats driver found her wandering as a stray. I called to visit her after seeing her on the website and got an appointment the next morning, and went home with her that day. She even came with a chip, vaccines, hoodie, food, and toys. It is clear they really cared about her and for her. They provided a well visit where I could take her to the Vet within 10 days of adoption in case she picked up anything while there (when I took her in the vet knew her from them having already taken her there) and insured that they would take care of anything stemming from if they found anything. They are even covering a dental procedure recommended by the vet. Aubrey and I thank you everyone at SBACC!”

“HPP Cares took on an overwhelming task in Fall of 2022 with the CalHFA ADU Grants. Although they had to adjust and at times had poor communication or conflicting information, they came through and provided us with all the help and support needed. They took on clients from throughout the state and were able to successfully expand to accommodate. They have adapted well and running a smoother program. Hopefully they can accept new grant funds and clients with the State's additional funding to help more people. Thanks to everyone at HPP Cares!”
