Opportunity Details
REMOTE - Create Hygiene Kits for our Neighbors in Need!
We are looking for assistance in creating hygiene kits to distribute to our unhoused neighbors.
Why: Project Ropa's team members work diligently to help clients find clothing they'll be proud to wear – clean, stylish, and hand-picked. This level of personalized care may require time and attention, but it is where the real impact happens. It's care that restores hope, and the guests deeply appreciate it.
Who: Project Ropa operates a free Mobile Clothing Closet for those in need that brings a curated selection of new and gently used high-quality adult size clothing, shoes, and accessories, along with personal hygiene products directly to people in need at locations in Echo Park and Hollywood.
