DRINKING WATER
No fountains or water access where homeless live. Fire hydrants are the sole sources for drinking and bathing.
HYGIENE, WIPES, DIAPERS
Few toilets on public streets. Buckets = bathrooms. We give body wipes, adult diapers, feminine hygiene every week.
PORTABLE PROTEIN For pets and people, basic survival supplies that our elderly and disabled neighbors can’t access easily.
PET AID, SOCKS, TARPS Weekly pet food, leashes, vet care. 300 socks, blankets, tarps our unhoused neighbors and their pet companions.
We are a boots-on-the ground IRS-recognized 501c3 non-profit that offers Survival Supplies from our car windows.
With No agenda. Just pure giving.
We can’t solve the homeless crisis. But we can offer basic needs in the interim. We do this every single week.

What we Do
From our car windows we deliver basic essentials to elderly and disabled homeless adults. We drive directly to where they live, in permanent camps on the outskirts of Skid Row*
We Take Action
We serve the poorest of communities, who truly don’t have the resources to help themselves. While permanent solutions are on the horizon, we fill in the gaps where other providers leave off.
* Skid Row is a small area in downtown Los Angeles that has become synonymous with homelessness and poverty. Created in the late 1800s, Skid Row is now largest stable un-housed population ( 13,000 ) of homeless in the U.S. — existing with virtually NO bathrooms in 50 square blocks. It’s known for its condensed un-housed population since at least the 1930s.
