We are a group of like minded individuals with a heart to serve the homeless and we are looking for additional people with a heart for the homeless to serve with us.
We go to Santa Ana to distribute clothing to homeless men and women who live on the streets. We do this twice a month. It takes about 3-4 hour of your time per event on the 2nd and 4th Saturday each month. We are looking for people who will commit to coming out at least once a month for about 4-6 months. If you have a group of friends who would like to volunteer, our maximum group size of new volunteers are 3 per event.
To find out more about use and why we serve the homeless, visit our website www.clothingthehomeless.org. We list the monthly schedule, information about our history and interesting stories about homeless. Please contact us if this sound interesting to you.

About Clothing the Homeless
Location:
c/o Journey Christian Church, 4849 Alton Parkway., Irvine, CA 92604, US
Mission Statement
Our goal is to meet the necessary needs of the homeless population with adequate clothing for the different seasons and elements of weather. We also want to provide decent, clean clothing to give these people a boost in their already low self esteem. This will help in scheduling and appearing at interviews if they look presentable. We believe with the amount of clothing that is thrown away every day there is no reason people are going without decent, basic clothing. Our goal is to distribute them to the people who are in need and not drop them off somewhere thinking it will get done.
Description
We have been going into the city of Santa Ana for over 12 years now, and have recently started distributing in the city of Costa Mesa too.
We give bags and bags of clothing to the Salvation Army Emergency Shelter and Isaiah House (a shelter for women.) Plus WHW an organization that gives people business attire clothing for job interviews and jobs.
We provide clothing when requested for Skid Row homeless and other areas in Southern Calif. We have provided clothing to many American Indian Reservations.
In between are mobile distributions we are busy collecting, sorting, washing, and marking sizes on each article. We store all of our donations in a storage facility.
