Van Nuys

I was considering changing my topic to something else that's relevant in Van Nuys, I feel like it is a bit more appealing, and hopefully easier to tackle. I remember The Daily News covered this story last summer about how a bungalow in Van Nuys that's been around since 1921, and was declared a city historic cultural monument in 1979, serves as a store for underprivileged children to come get new clothes for school at no cost to them. Sometimes local teachers made the trip with students to the bungalow so they could shop. As written in the article, "It is owned by the Volunteer League of the San Fernando Valley, a group of 19 dedicated women who raise funds to buy new clothes for more than 1,400 needy kids in the community every year. "
With the current economic situation, I'm sure there have been more families in need of these services and I'd like to see if there has been a steady flow of money and donations so that the community's needs are met or if there has been an influx of need so as to cause some sort of shortage or scarcity of supplies or clothing.
