People just like you have found meaningful ways to give back to those in need. You can make a difference and feed your passion through volunteering today.
Rents in Los Angeles County are INSANE!! Car insurance is stooopid expensive, and for a city of this size, our public transportation is not the greatest, so you are pretty much forced to have a car. Combine those 3 factors alone, and you have a homeless crisis.

YouTube's "60 Second Docs" introduced us to this charitable pioneer. Jacqueline, better known as The Brown Bag Lady, started her L.A.-based non-profit with hunger and compassion in mind. She and her crew pack 200 bag lunches every month to hand out amongst the less fortunate in the city's Skid Row.
Not only do they come equipped with food and free haircuts, but the most valuable thing she prides herself on offering is a smile.

THANK YOU 60 Second Docs for helping shine light on this homeless epidemic in Los Angeles. It was an absolute honor to spend the afternoon with Christopher Stoudt.
Because of your donations, Brown Bag Lady is able to hand out scholarships to college-bound youth who are both academic superstars and active in their community.
CONGRATULATIONS!!

This Overachiever Has Dedicated Her Life to Feeding the Homeless
Jacqueline is our latest Pilot Pen Overachiever, and it’s easy to see why. On the first Sunday of every month, she organizes a group of people at her home to make 200 brown bag lunches and hands them out to the homeless community living in Skid Row in Los Angeles. Since 2014, they have handed out over 14,000 meals!

It's so much easier to just turn our head. It's so easy to say "Someone should do something about that." We are all that ... someone! One small act of kindness can be a game changer. This is my one act...
