Access to basic hygiene essentials is more important than ever for our unhoused neighbors. Project Ropa is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps restore dignity, rekindle optimism and empower the lives of people experiencing homelessness by providing clean clothes, hygiene kits and drinking water in a safe, humane and dignified way. Our retrofitted van functioning as a walk-in closet carries hope as well as a full selection of high-quality men's and women's clothing, shoes and accessories all neatly displayed on racks and shelves similar to a retail environment. Our Mobile Hygiene Service operates weekly in Downtown LA and Echo Park.
We are looking for assistance with collecting new and gently used men's clothing donations to distribute to our unhoused neighbors.
Items we are seeking are:
- Men's jeans, khakis and cargo pants
- Men's sneakers, sandals and work boots
- Men's shirts, winter jackets, hoodies and sweaters (sizes M-5XL)
- Underwear and socks (new only)
- Ball caps
- Face masks
- Belts
- Tote bags and backpacks
Contactless pick up or drop off is available within a 15-mile radius of zip code 90094. Donations can also be mailed to: Project Ropa, 4712 Admiralty Way, #1226, Marina del Rey, CA 90292

Mission Statement
The mission of Project Ropa is to reduce waste and restore dignity to those in need by providing clothing and hygiene essentials.
Description
An Overview: Who We Are
Project Ropa, is a Los Angeles-based non-profit and certified social enterprise, paving the way towards a more compassionate, sustainable world. At its core, Project Ropa is a mobile clothing closet delivering premium, hand-selected apparel and shoes to people in need. We work to give a second life to items originally destined for landfills. In doing so, Project Ropa empowers lives, providing individuals with hygiene essentials and high-quality clothing and shoes that can open doors to future opportunities.
Our Approach: The Power of Love
Project Ropa's approach to serving our clients is deeply rooted in the concept of the intrinsic value and unlimited potential of their lives. Instead of seeing people as problems to be solved, Project Ropa views each individual as a person with unique aspirations and contributions. Many of the individuals served by Project Ropa are working to secure employment, improve their health, and maintain stable housing. Project Ropa is there to support them at every step of their journey.
Each client is welcomed to shop from our mobile clothing closet and offered one-to-one service. Project Ropa's team members work diligently to help clients find clothing they'll be proud to wear - clean, stylish, and hand-picked. This level of personalized care may require time and attention, but it is where the real impact happens. It's care that restores hope, and the clients deeply appreciate it.
