✨“We have to help each other—especially now.”✨
Meet Dana, a first-time volunteer who showed up with her best friend and jumped right in. From sorting clothes to sharing kindness, it’s people like her who help us make sure no one goes without clean essentials. 💛🧥👟
Volunteering isn’t just about giving time. It’s about showing up for humanity.
Ready to step in? We’d love to have you.

👕💛 Clothing Deserves to Be Recognized as Essential 💛👕
We all know that food, water, and shelter are vital, but so is clothing. According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, clothing is a fundamental physiological necessity. Without it, people face serious barriers to safety, stability, and opportunity.
Yet, in California, clothing is still not classified as an essential good. That means nonprofits like Project Ropa receive limited government support for providing something as basic as clean, well-fitting clothes, leaving thousands without access.
At Project Ropa, we’re filling this critical gap through our Mobile Clothing Closet and Community Clothing & Hygiene Bank, helping unhoused and low-income Angelenos regain a sense of dignity, confidence, and hope.
🧼🧥 Clean clothing isn’t just a comfort—it’s a key to employment, housing, and health. Let’s make sure it’s treated that way.
