Programs
Our programs deliver crisis recovery and disaster relief support throughout Southern California. Through strategic giving initiatives, healing art experiences, community events, and purposeful resources, we support people and families navigating emergencies and life transitions, providing the tools and confidence they need to take their next steps forward. We approach recovery through innovative partnerships that empower individuals rather than create dependency, ensuring sustainable support that honors each person's value.
“Built on trust—we empower people to write their next chapter, not create systems that limit their independence.”

“The day was filled with so many genuine moments of gratitude. As someone that craves community connection and can sometimes find it a bit elusive in this city, this event and group of people was extremely meaningful and hopeful to me.”
“Thank you for including us, being there to support the LA community every chance we can is how we rebuild. Your team outdid yourself - too many tears.””
“The event was extremely well-organized and volunteers were so kind and helpful. We appreciated all the gifts and love we received. The whole event was meaningful and memorable for us.”
Curated gifts. Critical moments.
Gift Forward is a brand partnership program that delivers curated gift experiences valued at $500+ to individuals and families navigating crisis and disaster. The program features six collection drops throughout the year, each designed for different moments of transition.
Every gift includes 6-8 thoughtfully selected products, premium packaging, and a personalized card. We partner with brands who redirect a portion of their influencer gifting budgets toward giving back, transforming marketing spend into meaningful community impact.
More than a collection of products, each gift is a reminder that your next step forward is worth acknowledging. Gift boxes invitations are based on need and location, right now we are only serving the local Los Angeles area.

The Road Forward Is Meant to Be Felt, Not Just Survived
Not all relief looks like a check or a checklist. Sometimes it looks like a quiet moment of joy. A chance to reconnect. A space to feel human again.
Our immersive relief experiences are designed not only to support those picking up the pieces, but to bring people together through empathy and shared understanding. These moments create space for connection on both sides: for those navigating the aftermath of a crisis, and for those ready to show up with something deeper than a donation.
It’s not just about what was taken—it’s about creating new moments, rebuilding together, and shifting what support looks like when someone is finding those next steps.
Small-scale support. Real-time impact.
Neighbor Match is a community-powered program that provides small, direct microgrants of up to $500 to individuals, families, and small businesses recovering from disaster or crisis. The program is designed to fill urgent gaps — like covering groceries, paying a utility bill, replacing essentials, or supporting a small business expense — so applicants can focus on the next step forward.
All applications are private and reviewed by our team. Nothing you submit will be shared publicly. In some cases, we may follow up with a simple request for documents (such as proof of address, ownership, or other basic details) to verify eligibility.
While we cannot guarantee that every request will be funded, we do our best to support as many neighbors as possible with the resources available. Every grant represents a step toward recovery — a reminder that small acts of generosity can make a real difference.

Hands That Heal
Art as a path forward.
Hands That Heal is an arts and activities-based recovery program designed to support emotional well-being after crisis or disaster for adults and children. Through guided, hands-on art experiences, the program offers individuals and families space to reflect, preserve meaningful memories, and look ahead to the next chapter through creativity and innovation.
All Hands That Heal experiences are offered at no cost to participants. No prior art experience is required, and all materials are provided to ensure access for those impacted and need an outlet to heal.
Hands That Heal is part of a broader effort to expand long-term recovery support through the arts, made possible through grants, donations, and community partnerships.
