You are looking to support a smaller organization by providing used clothing that will go directly to the homeless of LA.
Mission
Project Ropa is a Los Angeles based nonprofit and certified social enterprise on a mission to reduce waste and restore dignity to those in need by providing clothing and hygiene essentials.
What Project Ropa Does
Project Ropa aims to provide individuals in need with clothing that will uplift their morale and in turn, help open doors to employment and housing opportunities. The organization operates both a mobile walk-in clothing closet and a community clothing and hygiene bank. The mobile clothing closet is open every other week in Central Hollywood and carries clean clothes, shoes, accessories and personal hygiene kits. Individuals in need can visit the closet and work one on one with a staff member to select items that are the right fit and suit their personal style- all free of charge.
Why I Love This Organization
As a lover of fashion and beauty, I understand the impact that how we dress goes beyond functionality- when we look good, we feel good. Being able to dress in a way that makes us feel confident shouldn’t be a luxury and Project Ropa’s services allow all individuals to dress themselves how they desire which promotes dignity and confidence.
What They Accept
Project Ropa accepts new and gently used men’s and women’s clothes, shoes and accessories. Think everyday staple clothing pieces. See here for a full list of items.
Where Your Donation Ends Up
Your clothing will be added to Project Ropa’s mobile clothing closet where individuals in need can select items free of charge.
How to Donate
If you live within 30 miles of 90249, Project Ropa will pick up your items. To schedule a pick-up, send an e-mail to donate@projectropa.org. Please note you will be charged a service charge to cover the operating costs of the pickup.
