This past weekend, the KOA & Triunity, Inc. 2024 Summer Volunteer Event was held at Seal Beach where over 360 pounds of trash was successfully collected! Despite a beach clean-up event the day before, we still managed to gather so much trash! We would like to thank The Surfrider Foundation for working with us again and teaching us the importance of protecting our ocean, waves, and beaches. After the clean-up, our volunteers went to The Beach House for a delicious meal and amazing views of the clean beach. We are excited for the next opportunity to give back to our communities! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and dedicated their Sunday volunteering! #Lochner #KOA #Triunity #LochnerCares #hsbsurfrider

The group’s gatherings serve as a platform for discussions on a myriad of topics that span both personal growth and professional development.

Recently, our team collaborated with LADOT to implement a Quick Build Project on Shatto Place within the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles, prioritizing the enhancement of student safety at Young Oak Kim Academy Middle School. This project incorporated practical features like curb extensions, median railing, and parklets alongside artistic installations, all designed to foster a safer and more vibrant community environment. KOA collaborated with the school community to involve students in the planning and execution of the project, integrating artistic curb extensions and asphalt art. These elements are designed to remain in place for a temporary period of 1-4 years until permanent funding is secured. Throughout this duration, KOA will collaborate with LADOT to gather data and assess the project's success using predefined metrics. At KOA and Lochner's family of companies, community involvement is embedded in our core values. This project's community-centric approach has captured significant media attention, underscoring the importance of collaboration within our neighborhoods. Top of FormThis project not only enhances student safety but also fosters a sense of local pride, paving the way for future community-driven initiatives. Congratulations to all involved in the success of this project! Read more about the project: https://rb.gy/75bia3
