News from Vermont: Our Youngest Residents Learn and Thrive

At Vermont Family Apartments in Los Angeles, CA,  computer assistance and tutoring is offered in the computer room three times a month for residents who need help with resumes, homework, job applications, and web browsing.

The Garden Club meets twice a month to care for the community garden.

Vermont residents are grateful for the Food Forward program which provides fresh produce on a monthly basis. Food Forward staff and volunteers rescue 375,000 pounds of surplus produce each week from fruit trees, farmers markets, and the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market. 100% of these fresh fruits and vegetables are donated to over 1800 hunger relief agencies across eight counties in Southern California and distributed to folks like our low-income residents.

Residents meet once a month to celebrate birthdays of the month. They enjoy a delicious slice of cake, food, light refreshments, and raffles, all provided by EngAGE.

EngAGE changes lives by transforming affordable senior and multigenerational apartment communities into vibrant centers of learning, wellness, and creativity.
