How you can help

Recurring, automated donations are needed to help us pay for the everyday costs of supporting the homeless. Even as little as $10 a month will go a long way in assuring our ability to continue our mission.

Shoes Needed

A good pair of shoes can make a world of difference to the homeless. We have a big need for shoe donations, specifically closed toes shoes. Sneakers are ideal. (No heels.)

"Ninja Runs"

The Covid pandemic and restrictions have impacted all of us.

We've been fortunate to have our generous sponsors and other big-hearted individuals continue to donate backpacks, clothing and other items. Since many of our past distribution sites were closed due to Covid, we had to think of new ways to distribute clothing and other necessities to the increasing number of people living on the streets. For most of this year, our Director Mitch and a few other dedicated volunteers have conducted impromptu "Ninja Runs".

For our Ninja runs, we load the van with necessities: backpacks, blankets, sweaters, jackets, etc. We drive to areas in Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Stanton, and Riverside to distribute these items directly to people living on the streets. We've been able to serve over 600 individuals with some basic necessities to help them survive on the streets.

We are grateful for all your monetary, clothing and other items donated to help make these runs possible.

Sleeping Bags Needed

Do you have a sleeping bag that you haven't used recently? Consider donating it to CTH.

How You Can Help
Quote from Cathy at MHA

"I can't thank you enough for your donations to our agency today. The donation was incredibly generous. I hope that you did enjoy giving as much as I enjoy all the hope and comfort these clothes will bring to the people I serve every day."
