Packing, DISTRIBUTION OF 68 BOXES OF WARM WINTER CLOTHING

In November 2020, Braindead LLC (Los Angeles) generously donated hundreds of pieces of winter clothes in every size to Reaching Out California for distribution to the homeless.  Haynes Charter Elementary School (West Hills, CA) thoughtfully contributed hundreds of pairs of socks received during its Sockvember sock drive to our efforts. 

The brand new clothing donated by Braindead LLC and Haynes Charter Elementary School filled 68 boxes wonderfully crowded with 661 bags of hoodies, shirts, sweatpants, and socks. The unisex clothing ranged in size from small to extra-extra large, carefully sorted and packed for  delivery and immediate distribution to our partners at the Midnight Mission.

Reaching Out California volunteers separated the clothes by size, then placed a heavy cotton hoodie, a long or short sleeve shirt, a brand new pair of socks and, when available, also a pair of warm winter sweatpants in each individually created and size-marked bag of clothes to give to homeless men and women supported at the Midnight Mission.

On January 23, 2021, the warm clothing was delivered to the Midnight Mission for distribution to homeless people whose vulnerability to cold weather, especially at night, may be lessened a bit by the winter wear.  New shirts, socks, and bottles of water were separately hand-delivered to homeless veterans in West LA and to homeless residents of San Julian Park near Skid Row.
