We hope everyone had a wonderful summer. The Get Together Foundation has been busy getting ready to open its first interim Bridge Housing Facility, scheduled to be up and running early this month! We are so excited about this project and feel that we are truly making a difference in our community helping families to transition back to self-sufficiency. With the help of our friends and partners Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission , we continue our work helping LA's homeless. The shelter will provide food, a place to sleep, counseling, job training, and healthcare for families in need. Thanks to all of your financial contributions and (wo)man power, our plans are progressing right on schedule. Please stay connected.

CASA DE VIDA - 48-bed Bridge Housing Facility located in the West San Fernando Valley is scheduled to open in early September 2019

GTF/HOV FOOD DELIVERY PROGRAM

Our food truck will deliver delicious, nutritious meals to homeless families placed in temporary motel housing. We'll be announcing the schedule soon, so keep watching, and if you feel inspired, please be a volunteer. Come out and help feed people in need.

"TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS" We've purchased our first mobile food delivery truck, and we'll be 'takin it to the streets' as soon as we fix it up and add our logos.

An astounding statisic.... "LAUSD’s number of homeless students jumped by more than 1,000 since November"  " The district has identified 17,494 homeless students (as of April 2019) up from about 16,200 students reported in November... according to data provided by School Board member Kelly Gonez. The term homeless includes those living in shelters, motels, cars, doubled up with other families and those who are unsheltered." — Los Angeles Daily News
