WARM CLOTHING FOR THE HOMELESS, WITH THE BROWN BAG LADY

On December 24, 2021, Reaching Out California volunteers were excited to be able to partner with the Brown Bag Lady of Los Angeles, preparing and delivering 248 individually packed and sized bags of warm clothing to the Brown Bag Lady for distribution to homeless men and women on Skid Row over Christmas weekend. The volunteers led by Brown Bag Lady, a wonderful organization whose mission is to ease the suffering of the local homeless population, walk the streets of the city and hand-deliver warm food, hygiene products, and other forms of relief to those who so desperately need it. Thank you, Brown Bag Lady (aka Jackie Norvell), for all you do to provide relief to men and women experiencing homelessness in our community and for your partnership in this effort. We look forward to our next project together!

Reaching Out California volunteers carefully packed 248 large grocery bags with new clothing that had generously been donated by Brain Dead LLC. We placed in each marked bag the same size brand new t-shirt, hoodie, jacket, or heavy shirt or sweater, and new pants when available in that size. Then, we added to each bag a pair of brand new socks, an important item for people who live on the streets and are in need of comfort and warmth.

 .  

Reaching Out California volunteers placed each of the 248 bags of clothing in boxes marked with the size of the new clothing that the team led by the Brown Bag Lady would be handing out to homeless men and women on skid row. The 19 boxes of carefully packed bags of clothes were loaded onto a moving truck and, between rainstorms in Los Angeles, were brought to the Brown Bag Lady's loft, just east of Downtown Los Angeles.
