TERA has been partnering with local organizations, community members and the Office of Councilmember Huizar to provide relief to vulnerable Eagle Rock residents:
- COVID-19 Relief Fund — From generous donations by community members, we have distributed 100 debit cards (each with a $25 value) to vulnerable students, families, and residents through partnerships with Eagle Rock Jr./Sr. High School and local faith-based organizations. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our community members, and our fund remains open for donation as the impacts of the pandemic continue to be felt. If you would like to contribute to the fund, please donate here.
- Senior Meal Program — With funding from the Office of Councilmember Huizar, TERA has partnered with the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council to purchase meals delivered to seniors from Eagle Rock’s own Bite Me Gourm-Asian restaurant. Read more about this effort in the Boulevard Sentinel.
- Fruit Donations to Unhoused Residents — TERA has partnered with Food Forward, an organization that arranges for the donation of surplus produce to the food insecure. TERA has been participating in the Backyard Harvest program, whereby neighbors harvest fruit from trees in their yards and box them up for donation. TERA has been collecting fruit and allocating it to support ERNC members’ direct outreach and provision of goods as well as the temporary homeless shelter at Yosemite Recreation Center.
