We believe that a large piece of ending homelessness involves not just providing a roof over people’s heads, but a dignified experience for our unhoused and low-income neighbors across the Southland. And we couldn’t do it without in-kind donations from folks like you!
In-kind donations consist of physical supplies that you purchase new from the store. See below for the kinds of items we accept.
