Little girls with donated goods at the Los Angeles Orphans' Home Society, Los Angeles, 1935

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.

Little girl with donated goods at the Los Angeles Orphans' Home Society, Los Angeles, 1935

Description:
A little girl, who appears to be around five years of age, sits cross-legged surrounded by canned and dry goods. The picture is taken as she bites into a piece of sliced bread with jam and has made a mess all over her cheeks. She has short wavy hair and wears a floral-printed dress. The child and goods are seated on top of a light-colored sheet, printed with stars. Behind her is a wood paneled wall with a bird of prey painted on it. This girl presumably was one 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.
