THE PATCHWORK PROGRAM
We provide warm homemade quilts and pillows to shelter residents and nursing home participants. Ownership of a work of art and the functional warmth the quilts give, plus knowing that someone cared enough to make this can help to lift the spirits of the residents. many who feel isolated and depressed.

BACK TO WORK WARDROBE PROGRAM
We were determined to dress economically disadvantaged women in preparation for their first job interview after leaving the shelter. We distribute clothing to women’s shelters. We help to promote, confidence, when going for interviews, pride in appearance and independence for those who are trying to get their lives back on track.

NEW TOOLS FOR SCHOOL PROGRAM
We provide fully equipped backpacks,with school supplies. Nearly 29% of children living in Los Angeles County are living in poverty. Education may be a way for a child to break out of poverty. Every year children go back to school without basis supplies. By providing the right tools for learning, we hope to support social development, and enhance academic achievement.
