On November 24th, Knighted was privileged to work in conjunction with the offices of Assemblymember Hall for the Healthy Family Update and Turkey Giveaway! Held at the MLB Urban Youth Academy field at El Camino College, the annual event provides free turkeys and canned items for the community of Compton, as well as free medical screenings for adults and children.
According to the 2010 census, Compton has the highest risk for obesity and diabetes in the state of California, which organizations like the offices of Assemblymember Hall and the Urban Youth Academy fight against every day. The event provided services like hypertension testing, HIV screenings, and BMI measures, just in time for the holidays.
