We operated as an all-volunteer lead organization for our first 16 years of impact – growing to one of the largest all-volunteer non-profits in the country and the largest in Los Angeles.  Volunteers will always be the lifeblood of our Outreach programming and committee leadership.

Annual Outreach, December 12-14, 2025

Our signature annual event. A week of community building, multiple assembly options and Learning Experiences across all four impact pillars. AND the biggest and most powerful direct street and agency Outreach weekend in LA.

December Outreach is our one public event and sparked our mission in 1999.  

Sponsorships are vital for us to serve as many unhoused babies, children, men, women, families and animals as possible because at the holidays is when both the need is the most and the winter weather is about to be at its worst.

Individual and group sign-ups begin November 14, 2025.
