Every single week, we have dedicated volunteers who give their time and resources to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Each month we would like to take the time to recognize the impact, passion, and power of our volunteers from across the state. We are incredibly grateful for their support and would not be able to do the work without them.
Rohan Sampath and Eileen Dardick: Los Angeles
We are extremely thankful to our supporters, Rohan Sampath and Eileen Dardick, who volunteered alongside family, friends, and neighbors to assemble over 1,000 care kits for our residents! After seeing the homelessness crisis in their community, Rohan and Eileen wanted to do something to directly support our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Together, they raised over $3,000 and hosted a volunteer assembly event to put together care kits filled with all sorts of goodies such as nonperishables, snacks, hygiene items, and sweet encouraging notes. Thank you so much for your donation and support to our mission to end homelessness for individuals, families, and communities.

PATH Orange County recently partnered up with Harvest Fridge, a local food company crafting gourmet salads, wraps, sandwiches, and snacks that are fresh, healthy, and conveniently packaged for customers on the go!

Every week our clients enjoy a variety of nutritious meals and snacks delivered right to their door! We are thrilled to connect with local businesses who want to reduce waste and make a difference serving their community! Thank you Harvest Fridge for your continued support!
