The Midnight Mission's dedication to our community extends beyond providing needed services to homeless and near-homeless men, women and children and those suffering from drug addiction and mental illness. Realizing that homelessness like so many community ills are regional phenomena, we are leaders in establishing effective collaborative relationships with civic groups, government officials, other social service providers and community groups to leverage our ability to address these issues. Some of the groups that we support, are a part of and/or work with are listed below.

• Los Angeles Central Providers Collaborative
• LAPD - Community Policing Advisory Board
• Rotary Club - various chapters
• Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council
• City of Los Angeles - Safer Cities Initiative
• City of Los Angeles - Community Redevelopment Agency - City Center Project Area
• S.O.S - Streets or Services Program
• LAHSA- Los Angeles Homeless Service Authorities
• LA Works
• Bring LA Home - www.bringlahome.org
• Schools on Wheels - www.schoolonwheels.org
• Skid Row Development Corporation
• City Attorney's Office - H.A.L.O. Project

The relationships that we have established with our clients and guests provide valuable insight into crafting solutions to the myriad of problems and concerns our client/guests face. We work closely with various groups to ensure that the plight of the homeless and impoverished remains in plain view. In addition to our three large-scale community service events held on Christmas Day, Easter Sunday and Thanksgiving Day, we are involved with homeless healthcare fairs, back to school supply drives for homeless children and community clean-up initiatives.
