Description:: Four young girls stand and sit around a clothed-table laden with donated groceries. All eat slices of jammed bread with jam smeared on their faces. The ages of the girls range from about 5-years to 10-years. They all wear floral-printed dresses. Behind the girls is a wood paneled wall with a bird of prey painted on it. The girls were presumably some of the many orphans who resided at the Los Angeles Orphans' Home Society, once located at 815 North El Centro Avenue. Every October, the Society organized a donation drive to supplement the orphanage's food stock. At the time, the home was the oldest existing orphanage in the city. Its successor organization, Hollygrove, is no longer an orphanage but a non-profit family and children's services group, which is still located on the exact location of the Orphans' Home.
