Our organization participates in the Surplus Property Donation Program of the County of Los Angeles. 
Los Angeles, California
As part of an expanded focus on domestic projects, SimplyHelp is planning on opening a new office in Los Angeles, California that is intended specifically to manage all of our domestic projects.
The office will oversee the following, ongoing domestic projects:
Distribution Of Goods
SimplyHelp collects and distributes much-needed goods to homeless individuals and families living at-or-below the poverty level in and around the Los Angeles area. Several charitable distribution events are scheduled throughout the year, with a focus on local events throughout the holiday season. Distributed goods include food, clothing, personal hygiene items, and toys for the children.
With our distribution program, we can bring a measure of peace and joy to poor communities, particularly during the holiday season when expenses for these families is particularly stressful.
The budget for our domestic projects is $50,000 annually, which includes both the purchase of food and supplies, and costs encountered for the distributions.
We sincerely appreciate your donations to aid us with making these domestic projects a success, as we work together to help local men and women emerge from the cycle of poverty.
Job Seeker Assistance
SimplyHelp recently donated professional attire to the Chicana Service Action Center in Downtown Los Angeles, as part of the foundation’s Job Seeker Assistance efforts.
SimplyHelp is partnered with WorkSource California in providing much needed assistance to job seekers who come from backgrounds marked by extreme poverty. Workforce California provides job listings, job placement and interview preparation for job seekers. SimplyHelp will be providing support in the form of much needed business attire that is essential to making a good impression at interviews, but is too costly for job seekers currently living below the poverty line. With the proper attire, our clients will be able to approach the interview process with the self-confidence needed to make a lasting impression on prospective employers. SimplyHelp will also provide laundry assistance to those without homes and access to laundry services.
With our distribution program, we can bring a measure of peace and joy to entire families -- particularly during the holiday season. With our job seeker assistance, we can help good people find the work they need to rise from the cycle of poverty and embark on a career track that will serve them for years to come.
The cost of running this office is projected to be $150,000 (USD) annually. This total includes cost of distribution and assistance programs, employee wages, and lease, rent, and operating costs. Please consider donating to this project as we work together to help local men and women emerge from a cycle of poverty.
