Our PEERS Teens had a Merry time at our PEFA Ornament & Gingerbread-house Decorating event at Our Village! And a huge thank you to NCL South Bay for donating these generous gifts for our Secret Santa & White Elephant! The teens loved them and all had so much fun creating, connecting & socializing in their cohort of friends!
Happy Holidays!

Our Young Adult PEFA Nature Walk at South Coast Botanical Gardens & Friends-Giving Picnic was so much fun! 🍁🌸🌻

And much to our excitement, there were even some dinosaur friends to meet throughout the park! They were animatronic and super cool and engaging for all of us as we navigated our way through the beautiful park together, socially and with nature! 🍁❤️❤️

Thank you to Jersey Mike’s of Torrance, Harbor Regional Center, and South Coast Botanical Gardens for this beautiful day!
