The need for hand-wash kits and meals continues...
APRIL:  6,100 hand-wash kits went out to homeless agencies including our main partner, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) in an effort to help contain the spread of COVID-19 in homeless communities. The kits are being distributed to individuals living on the streets and in unsheltered situations. This has been made possible by the sponsor support of Earthly Body, L.A. Care & Restaurant Depot & so many willing volunteers! Also welcome aboard to our newest sponsor, Community Foundation of the Valleys
