Heart in Hand LA

Dear Bruins,

During these unprecedented times in our society, thousands of disadvantaged individuals in our communities are at risk of significant health repercussions or even death.

We seek to create safer living conditions for those experiencing homelessness, as well as undocumented students and ethnic minorities during a time when they need it most. We strive to achieve this goal by providing these communities with homemade masks, hygiene packages, clean clothes, food, water, and health/social work-related resources.
