Every bag lets the recipient know someone cares.
OUR MISSION
Bags And Grace is a 501(c)(3) charity created for the purpose of providing immediate, tangible relief to people living on the street. Our bags are filled with food, sundries and socks. Initially a one person attempt to make a difference, our goal is to broaden this charitable outreach given the unprecedented number of unhoused in both Los Angeles and our country, a number sure to expand during and after the Covid crisis.
OUR APPROACH
There are, thankfully, other organizations and non-profits working to help those in need. Many of the organizations take a long view, working to get people off the streets and into homes, jobs, and drug programs when needed. The people working in these organizations are tireless and amazing. Their efforts don’t payoff overnight. But their successes are many and powerful.
Our organization has a different approach:
We want to provide immediate relief to those in need. Right now. And, every bag lets the recipient know someone cares.
Many organizations that feed the homeless need a person living on the street to find the organization’s location. Bags And Grace flips this: we find the people living on the street, bringing help directly to them.
OUR PROMISE
Bags And Grace's promise to you is that 100% of your donation will go to the contents of a bag. You can see the contents of the bag here. Each bag currently costs somewhere between $40 - $50 dollars, depending on available product. We hope to soon bring the cost down through corporate sponsorships. Speaking of which, we would love help from you if you know how to get some of the products for free!
