Skid Row Solidarity Funds

This fundraiser aims to serve the needs of our unhoused brothers and sisters of the greater Los Angeles area, with a focus on the residents of Skid Row. 

Skid Row is home to almost 5,000 individuals (2019 est.), an increase of 11% over the previous year (per Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority). The conditions of this neighborhood are rough, to say the least. We want to do anything possible to provide residents with items they need to feel even just a bit more comfortable. And while there are many amazing charitable groups and missions serving the area, there is still an endless need to contribute even more. 

With all funds raised through this campaign, we'll purchase much needed food and supplies to distribute directly to those in need. We build hygiene kits that include items such as: soap, razors & shaving cream, socks, underwear, toothbrushes & toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, condoms, face masks, and more. We also provide snacks and water (and meals as we're able to).

In addition to our monetary fundraiser, we also accept donations of goods including: durable bags of any kind, clothing & shoes (new or in good shape), unused personal hygiene products, stationary items, tents & camping gear, blankets, pillows, and non-perishable foods. Send us a message if you'd like to donate any of these material goods.

No donation is too small - every little bit makes a difference in somebody's life! We'll post updates as we make our distributions to let you know how we've used the funds raised. Thank you for reading, and we appreciate your heart and generosity! 

Sincerely, 
Katrina, Claire, Ben, Lisa, and friends <3
