About this organization
Pacoima Beautiful (PB) was founded in 1996 by five relentless mothers who became distraught by the unpleasant sight of trash and toxic smells they endured while walking their young children to school. They knew that the only way to create a safer and cleaner community for their children and neighbors was through collective action. Like good neighbors, they joined forces to bring Pacoima some of its first major community clean-ups and tree planting events. These beautification projects set the grassroots foundation that our organization has stood by for nearly 30 years.
