Electronic Equipment Donated to Denker Center
Christmas came early to Denker Park Recreation Center in South-Central Los Angeles on Thursday when it received donated electronic equipment.
Union Bank of California and the nonprofit community organization Operation HOPE were behind the $4,000 donation, which included two new television sets, two videotape players, a fax machine and a stove.
The donation is the initial thrust of “Magnet Communities,” a long-term commitment to bring together community residents, the private sector and government to revitalize an area bounded by Western and Normandie avenues, and Jefferson and Exposition boulevards.
“We are really excited because many programs just talk a lot, but we are going to deliver,” said Jennifer Lewis of Operation HOPE.
