2015 UCLA Volunteer Day

Last Saturday UCLA held it’s annual UCLA Volunteer Day throughout Los Angeles. I was lucky enough to participate at the Second Street Elementary School site. I got to work with the 2015-16 UCLA Freshman class in the mural project and these are some of the pictures from the event.

These are just a handful of the chalkers who participated in this event in support of Food Share and community outreach, thank you to the event organizer Barbara Hinton for an amazing event.

 

Ventura Breeze
Had to share this because my chalk square was one of the squares that made it on the cover of the Ventura Breeze!
