With summer heating up and the MLB All-Star game behind us, our ETTA crew is rounding the bases and cheering the Los Angeles Dodgers on for a grand slam second half of the season! ⚾️ Our Dodger fans are tried and true—and definitely bleedin’ blue! 💙

Special shoutout to Arthur for leading the cheer squad from the ETTA HQ dugout! Let’s go Dodgers—bring home that W! 🧢💥

Recently during a Jewish Life lesson at our Group Homes, we dove into the beautiful themes of kindness, connection, and the value of friendship.

One highlight? Our “Kindness Hot Potato” game! 🎶🥔 As music played, participants passed a potato around, and when it stopped, they shared words of appreciation with a peer or staff member. It was a heartwarming way to build each other up and strengthen our community spirit.

We also got creative (and tasty!) with a symbolic friendship snack mix. 🥨🍬Each ingredient told a story: pretzels for the twists and turns of friendship, craisins for its sweetness, M&M’s for color and diversity, crackers for trust, and cereal for a fun crunch. While mixing and munching, we reflected on how these ingredients mirror the many layers of meaningful relationships.

Meet Shaina 👋 one of ETTA’s Amazing Residents! 🏡

For the past 9 years, Shaina has called an ETTA group home her home — and it’s made all the difference.

Before ETTA, Shaina was living on her own but found it hard to maintain structure and support. That changed when her grandmother found ETTA — and saw it could be the perfect fit.

From keeping her space clean, to cooking meals, to earning the title of “best dishwasher in the house” — Shaina is thriving.

Watch the video to hear Shaina’s inspiring story and see the power of support, structure, and community in action.

Pesach, our incredible Office Assistant and Day Program participant, says it best:

“I like loading up the cart and bringing it in. I get to help people who need help and distribute food to the community. I like helping people, and I look forward to it each week.”

Want to stock up or just stop by? We’re here for you.

📍 13034 Saticoy St., North Hollywood
🗓 Every Thursday in July
🕛 Starts at 12:00 PM

🌽 Good food. Good people. No cost.

Our Day Program participants really soared to new heights at the The Museum of Flying in Santa Monica! ✈️

From climbing into the cockpit of a Convair 240 (co-pilots, assemble!), to jet-setting into the future with the Jet Trainer Cockpit Simulator, we were on cloud nine the whole visit! We even got up close and personal with a Blue Angels Douglas A-4 Skyhawk — it was sky-high excitement!
