Our newly housed clients need some items to make their house a home. Can you help?
In an effort to expand our reach, Ascencia is dedicated to connecting communities for a greater impact. Move-In Monday is a program designed to lift people out of homelessness in a way that relies on the community to directly impact change and be connected with those we help.
MIM gives you the chance to donate specific household items that our clients need in order to make a house a home. Thank you for your enthusiasm to give a helping hand. Your generous act of kindness can change a life forever!
The items below are listed on Ascencia's Move-In Monday Amazon wish list. Once items are purchased, they are removed from the list, delivered to our facilities, and gifted to our clients.
Please email donate@ascenciaca.org if you've purchased an item, intend to purchase an item, or would like to donate any of the items labeled "used". We will let you know if it's still in need.

Ruben
After losing his apartment and his job, Ruben found himself homeless and living on the streets of West Hollywood, sleeping in his car. That is until one of our Case Managers found Ruben and shared with him all that Ascencia offers to people experiencing homelessness.
We provided Ruben with a bed, a place to shower, 3 meals a day, occupational therapy, and psychiatry appointments. Ruben's determination coupled with Ascencia's resources and programs allowed him to get off the streets and secure his own apartment!Ruben is requesting your help to transition into stability with these items:
