Providing against Poverty: a project to help the homeless

Our Mission:

Thousands of people in Los Angeles alone suffer from homelessness, also known to be the city with the highest poverty rate in California. In order for these people to get back up on their feet, we need to do something about it. That is why all our funds are going to Los Angeles Mission, a non-profit organization which specializes in getting families off the streets and with the essentials they need. But to be able to do this, we need your help! Below are some simple and extremely helpful ways you can contribute towards our cause.

Ways you can help!

Buy from our sweets and candy sale! Happening Wednesday, February 12, 3:00-4:30, outside of El Segundo Middle School (332 Center St, El Segundo, CA 90245).

Donate and fund this GoFundMe, “Providing against Poverty: A middle school project to help the homeless.”

Give away any essentials (toiletries, shirts, pants, hats) to our donation box! Located in the El Segundo Middle School office during the day and next to our stand after school.

(All clothing donations will be given to an LA Mission center in Downtown Los Angeles.)

Our Goals:

Candy Sale: Earn $175 in sales (non-profit)

GoFundMe: Raise $700 in funds

Donations: 100+ essentials (40 shirts, 40 pants, 20 toiletries)

Total Earnings: Go Fund Me earnings sent as money to LA Mission, candy sales used to buy essentials for the homeless (to be donated in Downtown LA).

Organizers:

Adlan Darpi & Shane Plush

Help Knead Deliver Bread to Those in Need
Our Mission

To eliminate food waste and combat hunger by providing surplus bread to those in need, ensuring every community has access to nourishment and hope. Knead was founded by best friends Nikhil Sarvaiya, Max Coleman, and Cyrus Zahiri, who shared a vision of fighting hunger and reducing food waste in their community. Recognizing the abundance of surplus bread going unused, they forged a partnership with Puritan Bakery in Carson, using their own cars to deliver bread every Saturday to local food banks.

What began as a small operation quickly gained momentum as more volunteers and drivers joined the effort, enabling Knead to expand its reach across the greater Los Angeles area. By building partnerships with additional bakeries and community organizations, Knead continues to grow its impact, ensuring fresh bread reaches those who need it most.

With a deep commitment to ending food insecurity, Knead is driven by the belief that no food should be wasted when it can provide sustenance and hope. Through every delivery, we aim to nourish bodies, uplift spirits, and work toward a world where no one goes hungry—one bun at a time.

In Loving Memory of Jessica Jaymes
In Loving Memory of Jessica,

Some of you may not know this, but helping and feeding the homeless was a cause that was extremely important to Jessica.

She spent holidays handing out meals to those less fortunate in the Downtown area, and along with her closest friends she'd make frequent trips to Skid Row with food. People there knew her as the Lady who came to bring them burgers.

It wasn't unlike her to put someone in need in her car and drive them to the nearest Subway sandwich shop, in fact Jessica was always the first person to help anyone she came across that needed it. Her heart was so much bigger than the hunger they felt.

Because of Jessica's passion for feeding the homeless we can't think of a better way to celebrate her life than to continue to help the people that she cared so much about. If you can please donate here to the Los Angeles Mission, we know it would help carry on her legacy. No amount it too little. We thank you in advance for your gift in her name.

Diane Padre-Gozun is fundraising
Helping Others Through Celia
As you all know, our beloved Celia Padre passed away this May. Her 64th birthday on September 5th is quickly approaching, and her family would like to celebrate her in a way that feels authentic to who she was to others – a caring and selfless person. Prior to her passing, she expressed a desire to volunteer to feed the homeless, but unfortunately, due to the constraints of the pandemic and limitations of her health, she was unable to physically do so. We can, however, make her wishes a reality by “adopting a meal” for up to 500 homeless men, women, and children at the Los Angeles Mission. Per the Los Angeles Mission website, this sponsored meal will cost $1265.00 (see their website). Money raised from this fundraiser will pay for a specific meal at the Los Angeles Mission for so many deserving people.

Celia was undoubtedly a generous and thoughtful person whose kindness was experienced by many, and by helping to feed the homeless in her honor, we can help her spirit of charity and love for others reverberate throughout the community.

Help Homeless People
Thousands of homeless people live on the streets. We pass by them everyday. We pass by them in our fancy cars. We don't pay attention like they don't exist.
Today is Thanksgiving day and I want to raise money to help homeless people. Feed them, give them clothes and shelter. Give them a chance. Give them new opportunities. Give a better life.
Please contribute - all donations will go to Los Angeles Mission.
