Overview

Mission

Our goal is to meet the needs of homeless men and women with clothing and necessities for life on the streets while endruing different seasons and weather. Most other clothing events require vouchers and are a bus ride or more away from the recipient's location, making it challenging for them to receive clothing. We partner with organizations that help the homeless. Some provide food, others provide medicine; we provide clothing.

Serve approximately 150 people in a month, amounting to over 1,200 items of clothing. To prepare for distributions, it collect, wash, sort and mar sizes on every article. All conations are kept organized in a storage facility. It distribute clothes and other necessities directly to the homeless in costa mesa, santa ana, riverside and anaheim.
