The 2026 Grantees
The 2026 Grantees
Fair Oaks Burger
For nearly four decades, Fair Oaks Burger has been more than a family-owned restaurant, it has been a gathering place and a symbol of community in Altadena. Since purchasing the business in 1987, the Lee family has built Fair Oaks Burger on hard work, compassion, and service. Today, second-generation sisters Janet and Christy Lee proudly continue their parents’ legacy, welcoming generations of families and strengthening the restaurant’s role as a community hub.
Flour Pizza
Flour Pizzeria & Cafe began in the Pacific Palisades with a simple idea inspired by co-founder Robert Flutie’s childhood in New York. Growing up, Robert and his friends would gather at their neighborhood pizzeria, where a few dollars could get them a couple of slices and a soda. Those afternoons created lifelong memories, and years later, Robert wanted to create that same kind of neighborhood gathering place for families and kids in the Palisades. Flour became exactly that. A place where kids could stop in after school for a slice, families could gather for a meal, and neighbors could feel at home.
La Palapa Sinaloense
La Palapa Sinaloense is a home grown restaurant in the heart of East Los Angeles. We have been serving the community with pride, intention, and authentic Mexican cuisine for 12 years. We are a small family business that has been impacted by the Lineage Warehouse fire. It has been a challenge to stay afloat and to keep our doors open as business has slowed down. We are waiting with open arms to share our specialities with the community so we would appreciate the support to help us survive. Your support in bringing additional clientele, providing visibility to our restaurant, and donations will be greatly appreciated.
Mariscos y Antojitos El Peque
Located in the heart of Boyle Heights, Mariscos y Antojitos El Peque is a cherished local eatery serving authentic seafood and traditional Mexican dishes. Through community support and donations, Mariscos y Antojitos El Peque continues to serve vibrant flavors, hearty meals, and welcoming hospitality to the Los Angeles community.
