The Los Angeles Mission 75th Anniversary End of Summer Block Party will this year feature a giant street fair for children with food, games, prizes, crafts, face painting, bounce houses, giant inflatable slide and more.

Children who live in the area will have a day of carefree summer fun at the Los Angeles Mission’s Annual End of Summer Block Party. Celebrities and political leaders will join hundreds of other volunteers to help serve the nearly 3,000 kids and their families who will attend.

Families who receive backpacks won’t have to decide between food and school supplies for their children. The Los Angeles Mission, along with City National Bank, US Bank, Blessings in a Backpack and Hilary Duff, Jackson Hewitt, Buck Consultants and many others make the event possible

The End of Summer Block Party gives children who experience fear, hunger, health issues and stress on a daily basis a chance to spend the day just being a kid!

The event takes place at the Los Angeles Mission, 303 East 5th Street (on the corner of 5th and Wall Street), on August 27, 2011, 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
