Our Impact

We believe that everyone deserves dignity, respect, and a chance to succeed. That’s why we provide hand-selected clothing and one-to-one assistance. Our services and caring approach—meeting people wherever they are with extraordinary care—helps restore hope and dignity to those in need.

Restoring dignity and hope

Clean clothes and shoes may seem like a small thing to those who have access to them every day. But, to someone in need, a new outfit that is the right size, style and appropriate for their particular needs can be the key that opens the door to a better life.

At Project Ropa, we believe that everyone deserves to feel good about themselves. Our mobile services are a place of hope and transformation, where our clients can find clean, stylish clothing that boosts their confidence and helps them take the next step on their journey. That’s why we provide our clients with hand-selected clothing and shoes they’ll be proud to wear. 

Our mobile clothing closet is more than just a place to find clothes – it’s a space where our clients receive one-to-one advice and care that restores dignity and rekindles optimism. Join us in making a difference in the lives of those in need.

Reducing Waste

Project Ropa works directly with companies to divert surplus, imperfect, sample and secondhand clothing items and shoes from ending up in landfills and giving them a second chance at life.

Two out of every ten garments manufactured worldwide are considered waste, contributing to significant environmental pollution. Project Ropa seeks to divert some of this wasted clothing into resources for people in need.

Every donated item that we receive is meticulously sorted and either distributed to those in need in our community, recycled, repurposed or sold. All the proceeds from items that we sell are directly used towards funding our services for homeless and low-income individuals and families.

Stories from our unhoused neighbors

It is our privilege to help transform the way people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles look and feel and be able to share stories from our clients about how getting clean clothes from Project Ropa has made an impact in their lives.

Kevin recently got a job and needed work clothes. It's usually hard to find the size that Kevin wants, but Project Ropa had the exact size.

Kevin and Iman

I just really have one wish. I'd like my daughter to come up to me and we can go shopping. I could pick out an outfit for her.

Pauline

My son didn't have a pair of shoes and he was able to acquire a pair from you guys. I was very happy about that.
