Thank you to the hundreds of young people who volunteered their time to help clean up Hollywood last weekend.

Volunteers from the Pacific American Volunteer Association (PAVA) picked up trash around Hollywood, Thai Town, and Little Armenia.

My office was proud to partner with PAVA on this clean-up day.
