Mission Statement

Our program welcomes a community of approximately 150 unhoused individuals and people in need to enjoy a nourishing breakfast served by dedicated volunteers. We believe in the power of connection, and through our actions, we demonstrate our commitment to supporting our friends in the community. This breakfast, symbolically served on the first day of the week, represents a fresh start, offering both physical sustenance and emotional support. The program takes place on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. The unhoused community receive a hot meal and a bag of snacks. The structure of the program creates an environment where everyone involved leaves with something valuable--our friends leave nourished, and our volunteers leave fulfilled by the meaningful exchange. Our program has become a pillar of consistency and support in the community for the last 25 years, sustaining itself through the magnetic energy created by these interactions.
