Founded in 1985, Heal the Bay has been making waves of change by helping to protect the coastline, restore waterways, and speak out for clean water policy across watersheds. How does it accomplish this? Partly with the aid of volunteers, because ripples make waves. The kid-friendly Heal the Bay Aquarium at the Santa Monica Pier features more than 100 species of marine life that live right offshore.

Venice Family Clinic has devoted more than five decades to providing quality care to 45,000 individuals, families, and communities from the Santa Monica Mountains through the South Bay. In 2023, the community health center celebrated the completion of its renovation at its flagship site, which was renamed the Chuck Lorre Rose Avenue Health and Wellness Center. The clinic’s comprehensive care includes mental health services, dental care, vision services, substance use treatment, prescription medications, domestic violence counseling, HIV services, healthy food distributions, health education, health insurance enrollment and child development services.
