New Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass finished up her first week in office by helping out less-fortunate families with a holiday giveaway.
Bass helped hand out $300 gift cards and other presents on Friday to 5,000 families at the All Peoples Community Center near downtown LA.
"It will bring a smile to my daughter's face," said Noemi Munoz of South Los Angeles. "Bring some groceries to the table."
The families who received gifts were chosen by lottery after being selected from among those in Los Angeles with the greatest need for assistance.

What every politician dreams of.
From the story not sure I believe it....
Funding for the gift cards came from the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles, a private nonprofit established in 2014 under Mayor Eric Garcetti that is supported by private donations.
Gimme mine. I’m not in LA. That’s spatial discrimination.
From her own pocket? What a saint.
So 80 billion divided by 300 million is 266 bucks...what pretty much everyone would have got in the country instead of Zelensky.
Groceries? Don’t make me laugh. We’re talking a couple cases of Christmas cheer.
From her own pocket? What a saint.
At least she didn’t entice some greedy business owner to move in and create jobs.
Just like Oprah giving away other people’s money
Gonna buy some good Heinekin for the holidays, cheers!
“Just like Oprah giving away other people’s money”
It feels so good it’s almost painless.
If it was her money, okay.
They used to deliver turkeys, but their modern day dependents likely can’t cook.
Just a meaningless gesture. If she was serious about reducing homelessness in LA, she’d push to undo the economic policies that created it in the first place.
I saw the video attached to this story. There is a complete absence of white people receiving gift cards.
free with the tax payers money not her own of coarse, free money for lotto liquor and drugs
Did they discriminate against any race or sex?
California just sent checks to every citizen. They spent that already?
Too bad all those Americans built LA into the city it was just so a parasite population can show up and take over
Won’t be long before it ends up looking like Nuremburg after the bombing
