Our Torrance Garden Club recently got hands-on with garden-to-table goodness, making salsa from scratch using ingredients picked right from our ICAN garden. 🌶️🍅 Most agreed it was delicious (with a spicy kick!), and the experience was as rewarding as the final taste.
There’s just something about this image—maybe it’s the teamwork, the joyful faces as everyone dives into the process, or the sunlight glistening off Coach Darryl’s hair. Either way, it was a moment worth savoring. 🌟
🎃 Memories That Last Beyond Halloween 👻
Sure, the Thanksgiving turkeys and holiday lights are starting to make their grand entrance 🎄🦃, but let’s be real—there’s still a special place in our hearts for the epic Halloween Festival we just had!
From the costumes to the crafts, games, and everything in between, it was truly a day to remember. Check out some of our favorite moments in this video! 🕸️✨
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so magical. We’re already counting down to next year’s festival!

🎶 Here’s our friend Julie from Redondo pouring her heart into the autoharp during Music Theory Club! 🌟 There’s nothing quite like singing with pure emotion, and Julie brought it today. 🎤💫 We love these moments of joy, connection, and self-expression here at ICAN! 🎸❤️
🎢 ICAN’s Social Program hit the rides and thrills at @knottsberryfarm , and it was a day packed with fun, laughter, and adventure! From heart-racing roller coasters to delicious treats, all 34 clients, 7 amazing volunteers, and 4 dedicated staff members embraced every moment together. 🎠🌭 There’s nothing like making new friends, creating unforgettable memories, and enjoying everything the park has to offer! Thank you to everyone who made this day so special. Here’s to many more days of connection, joy, and unforgettable experiences!
No, our Long Beach friends haven’t gotten smaller—they we`re just having a blast at Funko Hollywood! 😆✨ Surrounded by life-sized collectibles and endless pop culture fun, everyone enjoyed exploring, posing with their favorite characters, and soaking up all the colorful creativity. It was a day full of laughs and larger-than-life memories!
And yes, this is a real place. And yes, it’s as awesome as you’d imagine! 🤩
🌸 A Relaxing Day at SuihoEn Japanese Garden & Lake Balboa 🌸
Our clients had a wonderful time exploring the serene beauty of SuihoEn Japanese Garden and Lake Balboa! The peaceful surroundings, zen garden strolls, and a meditation session left everyone feeling calm and refreshed. The energy in the car on the way back was totally transformed and filled with positive vibes! 😆
They loved watching the waterfall, observing the ducks, and having lunch with a view of the lake. Visiting the Shoin building, with its open design connecting indoor and outdoor spaces, brought quiet joy—even for our usually spirited group! 🌿
🦃 Turkey Two Ways – Art Club Style! 🎨
This Thanksgiving season, our Art Club put a creative twist on “turkey two ways”! From colorful turkey crafts to unique holiday-themed artwork, they brought their own special style to the season. 🍂✨
We’re so impressed with all the creative energy they put into each piece! Who needs the dinner table when you have this kind of turkey spread? 😆🦃
🎲 Adventure awaits! Our ICAN clients are diving into the world of Dungeons & Dragons, where teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving take center stage. Through each game, they learn to recognize and celebrate everyone’s unique strengths and navigate challenges as a united team. In the D&D world, characters and ideas are embraced without judgment, making space for everyone to shine. It’s more than just a game—it’s a journey where imagination and collaboration build lasting connections!
