FAV Mission Statement
Founded in May 2000 by a group of concerned citizens Friends of Atwater Village works to
protect the integrity of the entire Atwater Village community by:

Preserving and promoting local history, such as the Van de Kamps Bakery, the
Hyperion Bridge and the Los Angeles River.

Developing a Community Center / Park with recreational facilities for Central & South
Atwater Village.

Advocating rational development that serves the community's best interest socially,
culturally, economically and environmentally.

Encouraging community involvement in neighborhood cleanups as well as Los
Angeles River cleanups.

Establishing broad based communication and a sense of community among all of
Atwater's diverse residents through a  e-newsletter and community outreach.

Encouraging responsible urban gardening / landscaping and community plantings.


In striving to accomplish these goals, Friends of Atwater Village seeks to preserve and
restore those elements that have made Atwater Village a unique community within the
Greater Los Angeles.
