VAN NUYS (CBSLA) — More than 75 homeless families living in San Fernando Valley hotels received food and toiletries Monday.
The donations are part of an ongoing initiative with city councilwoman Nury Martinez, Mayor Eric Garcetti's office, Los Angeles Unified School District, North Valley Caring Services, and New Economics for Women, to help homeless students and their families living in the hotels.
