The holidays should be a time of warmth and comfort, but for many in the Los Angeles area, the reality is quite different. Surviving with no home to retreat to is never an easy time, but add in chilly winter temperatures and the loneliness of the season, and the struggle increases tenfold. The Midnight Mission is dedicated to providing the homeless population of Skid Row with warm meals, shelter, and a variety of resources to get their lives back on track. For over 110 years, we have been committed to helping those who are struggling, but we couldn’t do it without the help of others.

At the Midnight Mission, plenty of opportunities exist to play a vital part in assisting those experiencing homelessness in the city of Los Angeles.
