Mission: Beyond Shelter is a non-profit organization founded in 1988 in response to increasing numbers of homeless families in Los Angeles and the need for a more comprehensive approach to serving them. Today, the mission of the agency is to develop systemic approaches to combat poverty and homelessness among families with children, and to enhance family economic security and well-being. Beyond Shelter accomplishes this mission through the following strategies: (1) responsive service delivery, (2) people-centered community development, and (3) the creation of knowledge for social change.

http://www.beyondshelter.org/aaa_get_involved/overview.shtml#in_kind_donations

Shelter continually seeks donations of items to support the families we serve. Every item donated is distributed directly to the families and children or to the programs that serve them. We do not re-sell any items. While we appreciate all donations, we ask that every item donated be new or gently used in great condition. If you would like to make a donation or need additional information, please call: (213) 252-0772. All donations are tax-deductible.

Below are some suggestions of items that will greatly benefit our families.
Basic Household Supplies
We help homeless families move out of shelters and into permanent affordable housing as quickly as possible. Once back in housing, each family is provided individualized support to help them rebuild their lives. When families moves into their new homes, it is often a struggle to obtain furniture and basic household supplies. To further support them in their transition from homelessness to housing, we collect the following items:

Pots & Pans
Dishes
Utensils
Furniture (especially beds & cribs)
Bed Linens
Towels
Microwaves
Appliances
Detergent and Cleaning Supplies
Vacuum Cleaners
Other Household Necessities

Infant Furnishings Equipment & Supplies
Many of the families we serve have infants and are in critical need of the following items:

Diapers (all sizes)
Formula
Bottles
Blankets
Cribs & Crib Bedding
Strollers
Car Seats
Clothing
Baby Lotion & Wipes
Noise Makers & Soft Toys to Play With
Items for Children
All of the families we serve have children ages 0-18. We are continuously in need of items for the kids. Suggestions include:

Clothing (including school uniforms)
Books (for all ages)
Toys (stuffed animals, multicultural dolls, board games, educational toys)
Art supplies
Sports equipment (i.e. basketballs, soccer balls, footballs)
Backpacks & School Supplies
Music & DVDs
Video Games

Professional Clothing for Working Mothers
Beyond Shelter's Employment Services Department helps primarily single mothers enrolled in Beyond Shelter's programs to find and maintain employment. Many of these jobseekers are in critical need of professional attire for job interviews and employment. All professional clothing should be clean and in good-to-excellent condition. New clothing is preferred.

Office & Computer Equipment
To help run our programs, Beyond Shelter is in need of the following office supplies and computer equipment:

Rolls of Stamps
Reams of Paper
Computers in Good Working Condition
Printers
Folders & Binders
Pens & Pencils
Flash Drives
