Shopping's FREE is all about fulfilling specific requests directly from those experiencing houselessness. We've carefully curated a wish list based on the unique needs and preferences of the individuals we serve. From blankets to essential personal care items, each item on the list represents a heartfelt desire explicitly expressed by our unhoused community members.

By empowering individuals to choose what they need from a diverse array of donated goods from our community, we help foster a sense of autonomy and dignity. We believe that by providing a fun shopping experience, we not only meet immediate needs but also affirm the inherent value and choice of each individual we serve.

Your monetary contribution directly supports the procurement of essential items, hot meals, the creation of comfortable shopping environments, and the provision of informational resources to guide participants toward additional support services.

Join us in making a meaningful impact on the lives of those experiencing houselessness.

Home-y Made Meals is a 100% people-powered initiative adapted to the safety measures required during Covid-19. Within the safety and comfort of their homes, volunteers from all around Southern California prepare, deliver, and serve homemade meals every day. Partnering with shelters and coalitions, we have moved past merely existing as a project. We are a community— a network of networks— a family founded and bounded by food.

By serving homemade meals to low-income communities every day, Home-y Made Meals seizes the power of food to nourish our unhoused neighbors, move people towards action, and synthesize tangible solutions supplanting segregation. We practice relational work in food justice, prioritizing accessibility and adaptability to protect the ones we serve and the ones serving.
