Bluegrass Holiday Fest and Food Drive 2025

The Bluegrass Holiday Fest and Food Drive (December 5, 2025) was a success! It was such a treat to see neighbors, clients and friends celebrating the holidays and good fellowship together. Many hugs were exchanged. It was truly a joyous time.

In addition, we raised $770 plus a good amount of food donations for CCAC - Central City Action Committee. We couldn’t have done it without the generosity of all involved. Thank you CCAC for the wonderful venue.

Thanks also to Andrea Hubert for putting the bluegrass band together - a mix of two really - Wild Rust and Burbank Bluegrass Jam. What a tremendous, happy sound! We also got to enjoy the singing of Andrea! Awesome!

We here at Urban Hillsides are so grateful for everyone coming together.
It made us so happy to see you all.

Wishing you all peace, health and happy moments together,

Darren and Joe

Client Appreciation Dinner Raised Donations for Central City Action Committee in Echo Park -Happy Holidays Everyone!

Our annual client appreciation dinner on Saturday, December 1, 2018 united clients and friends to celebrate the holidays. It also allowed us to celebrate our clients who have supported us over the years. We are grateful.

The food, drink and fellowship were exceptional. Old friends reconnected and new ones were found, too!

The group was able to donate $400 in money donations and 6 bags of groceries to Central City Action Committee in Echo Park/Angelino Heights.

Happy holidays and wishing you the best new year ever!

Thanks,

Darren and Joe
