Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles

Many are eager to do what people across this city always do in moments of crisis: step up to the plate, give back to their neighbors in need, lend a hand, and ask what they can do to help. Donations can be made to The Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles.  

The Midnight Mission has provided homeless services in Los Angeles since 1914, and the Mission graciously requests the following:

  • Monetary donations
  • Volunteers to package take-out meals - They are only offering take-out meals to comply with social distancing requirements.
  • Donations of the following items: disposable multi-compartment to-go food containers, disposable utensils, napkins, disposable lunch bags, single-serving beverages, plastic wrap, and zip lock bags.
