On Saturday, Sept. 11, the El Nido Family Centers is celebrating the 96-year-old agency’s accomplishments as one of Los Angeles’ most respected social services nonprofit organizations. Founded in 1925 by the National Council of Jewish Women, El Nido Family Centers empowers at risk families through child abuse prevention and treatment services, parent education, student mentoring, gang prevention programs, vocational training, mental health therapy and homelessness prevention support.
Kicking off at 5 p.m. at the Virginia Robinson Gardens, the celebration will honor the heroic front-line workers and their resilient staff that have served over 15,000 families in L.A. County even during the pandemic. For the past six years, El Nido Family Centers has partnered with Robinson Gardens holding its Garden Gala at the estate.
