A Message from the Founder

For over 40 years, I have been dedicated to giving to the homeless in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. As a female-owned business, building an organization with nurture at its foundation is a calling and a privilege I refuse to take for granted. Being a DJ, red carpet hostess, and comedian has afforded me connections that can expand our reach beyond Los Angeles. Whether you're a student, a blue-collar worker or a socially-conscious philanthropist, today is the day you can fight hunger with heart. Click Give Now to donate today!
