30 BOXES/BAGS OF KIDS'S CLOTHING, 12 BOXES OF ADULT CLOTHING

Reaching Out California volunteers carefully sorted and packed thousands of pieces of new and gently used clothing that had been donated to Reaching Out California and made arrangements to deliver the 42 boxes/bags of clothing for the benefit of homeless men, women, and children in Greater Los Angeles. On September 9, 2022, Reaching Out California volunteers loaded a rented truck and personally delivered the 42 boxes/bags of clothing and shoes to a suburban elementary school and to a rescue mission that care for residents of our community who are experiencing homelessness.

Thanks to clothing drives, donations by individual families, and generous gifts of clothing by Brain Dead LLC, Reaching Out California was able to deliver 27 boxes of brand new and gently used clothing -- as well as 3 large bags of gently used children's shoes -- to a local elementary school where many children are homeless. The dozens of pairs of gently used children's shoes that we delivered to the suburban school were generously donated by the Chaminade College Prep Magnet School in Chatsworth, California, where a shoe drive was held earlier this year for the benefit of children in need.

Reaching Out California volunteers then delivered 12 boxes of new and gently used adult clothing to the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission, where homeless in the area have been served since 1998. Thank you, San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission, for sharing our concern for homeless men and women and for being our partner.
