Get Together Foundation
Delivering aid, care, and comfort to Los Angeles’ most vulnerable citizens
As we all find ourselves coping with the COVID-19 outbreak, the Get Together Foundation wants to express our best wishes to all our supporters and hope that you are all staying safe and well. 
L.A.’s homeless need us now more than ever…
Crazy times we’re experiencing… Quarantining… Staying at home, but what about our homeless? There’s no place to go called ‘home’ for them.
 
In our efforts to help contain the spread of the coronavirus in homeless communities, the Get Together Foundation has taken some immediate action. Our team, along with a few of our precious volunteers, have been assembling several thousand hand-washing kits containing Earthly Body’s hand wash, bottled water, towels, and information about homeless services, and provided LAHSA – the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority with these kits to distribute to unsheltered homeless individuals throughout LA County. As we all know by now, hand washing is one of the most important steps in preventing the spread of germs. Although the city has placed about 200 hand-washing stations around the city, there are still many unsheltered homeless folks who are not in proximity to these stations and in urgent need of our kits. 
THANK YOU to our most recent sponsor...

LA Care  is helping to sponsor the Hand-wash kits for the homeless.
