Friends of the Jungle

Our community is rallying together to bring back the Jungle Clean Up, the first in 3 years since the Covid pandemic. We strive to bring our community together, meet our new neighbors, gather and scour our alleys, walk ways, streets, properties and beach.

Fortunately we have the support of both the City and County who will provide 5 dumpsters, a street sweeper, shovels, brooms, rakes, shears and trash bags. This is going to be our big comeback and we need your support!

Please donate what you can to help fund this event.

FOTJ will provide donation drops for clothing and books, morning coffee & donuts, water, afternoon lunch and refreshments for all and a street gathering to reunite our neighbors and celebrate our efforts.

Friends of the Jungle is a non-profit committed to keeping our neighborhood and local businesses informed on issues impacting our community. We work closely with the City, County, Beaches and Harbor, CD11 and LAPD Pacific Division.

For questions please email Jan or Lucy.

This intense neighborhood clean up takes a village to bring to life! Gratefully, our City will provide the equipment, technology, expertise and infrastructure: including 5 giant street dumpsters, a Street Sweeper, several city staff members, shovels, brooms, rakes, shears and trash bags. DOT will install temporary Tow Away signs.

FOTJ will organize this event and host lunch for all participants. Each and everyone who signs in to participate will receive a free t-shirt customized by our local artist Jim Chelius. Come early while supply lasts.

Join our afternoon lunch & refreshments for all and a street gathering with live music to unite our neighbors and celebrate our efforts.

A portion of the donations will be applied to all infrastructure costs. These costs enable us to advocate to the City, County & State on issues that impact our community. We are a nonprofit organization
