Pop Up Stand Serves Coffee To LA's Skid Row Residents

CULVER CITY, CA – Skid Row Coffee, a pop up coffee stand that moves around Skid Row, sells coffee on a sliding scale, provides a job training program for low-income Los Angeles residents, and caters private events, according to Eater Los Angeles.

The stand can usually be found at the Lamp Community Arts Program, L.A. Community Action Network, Gladys Park, San Julian Park, or the Skid Row History Museum on Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Culver City coffee roaster Bar Nine donates the coffee beans that help Skid Row Coffee operate.

Co-founder Danny Park describes his pop up stand as "a community space disguised as a coffee shop," according to LAist. Park hopes to have a brick and mortar shop by 2018.
