Our Impact

Community Engagement

During times of crisis and transition, it can be challenging for individuals and families to provide for even their most basic needs. HomeAid Los Angeles works to provide dignity and restore hope through various community engagement programs, including:

HomeAid Essentials

These outreach programs coordinate with their local communities to collect and distribute donations of these much-needed items.

  • Diaper Drives: Diapers, formula, and wipes

  • Builders for Babies: A program of Essentials (Diaper Drive)

  • Share the Warmth: Blankets, winter coats, gloves, scarfs, hats

  • Seats and Feets: Socks and underwear

  • CareKits: Personal hygiene items, snacks, water and resource cards

  • Back to School Drives: Needed school supplies 

HomeAid CareKits

In 2014, HomeAid began its CareKits initiative. CareKits are hygiene kits packed by volunteers and donated to local providers of homeless services. Since 2014, HomeAid has assembled and donated 7,300 CareKits in partnership with Bank of America, a national sponsor of HomeAid.

HomeAid Care Days

HomeAid Care Days are hands-on volunteer workdays during which minor repairs and upgrades are made at homeless projects and homeless service facilities. Tasks like painting, landscaping, cleaning, and small construction projects are done at no charge based on each organization’s need.  Since 2001, HomeAid has completed nearly 100 HomeAid Care Days (and counting), resulting in a savings of more than $315,000 to service providers.
