Our 3 Steps

Step 1

We start by planning and hosting a fundraiser to sell simple goods and drinks. We love being able to show our creativity while still raising money.

Step 2

With funds in hand, volunteers gather to shop for and hand-assemble hygiene and food kits — packed with care, item by item.

Step 3

We deliver the finished kits directly to unhoused individuals across Los Angeles, one act of kindness at a time.

Get Involved

Three ways to help.

However you can give — your time, your voice, or your support — it goes straight into a kit.

Every dollar goes toward hygiene and food items — a single gift can fund a full kit.
