Support Ascencia’s Life-Saving Services
There were 75,308 people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County in 2024.
More than 2,000 people died while experiencing homelessness in the county in 2023.
At Ascencia, we are fighting every day to prevent people from living on the streets, and from dying on the streets. Since 2006, our solution-driven programs and services have helped over 20,000 people experiencing homelessness, but we need to do more. We have the tools, but we need the resources to reach more people. This is why we need your help.
Community support is more crucial than every as we face possible funding cuts in the coming years. Your gift today will help us lift more people out of homelessness through the following services…
- Street Outreach and Enrollment
- Interim Housing
- Case Management
- Benefits Advocacy
- Individualized, Wrap-Around Care
- Mental Health and Wellness Services
- Permanent Supportive Housing
- Reintegration and Housing Retention
- Meals, Groceries, and Pantry items
- Assistance with Move-in Costs, Fees, and Household items
- And more!
With our 97% housing retention rate, you can rest assured that your donation is going to an organization that will do whatever we can to better the lives of the people we serve. We hope you will consider donating to help us continue our work and make a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable.
Contributions can be made by check or online via the form above!

In-Kind Donations
In-kind donations are any non-monetary donations including goods like food, clothing, services, or use of facilities or equipment at no cost. If you’re looking for a way to give back to your community, in-kind donations are impactful, tangible, and immediate. Our clients come through our doors often with nothing but the clothes on their back. We like to keep basic clothing, hygiene items, and non-perishable food on hand at all times for our clients.
All In Kind Donations must be pre-approved and dropped off by appointment only. Please email donate@ascenciaca.org with information and photos of what you want to donate and we will get back to you ASAP. Unfortunately, we are not able to do pick ups. All donations must be dropped off at Ascencia.
At this time we are currently accepting:
Food
- Non-Perishable canned goods and foods (Please check to make sure items are not expired)

Ascencia has Amazon Wish Lists that feature items that our shelter clients and housed clients are requesting. By ordering off our Amazon wishlists, you can see exactly what we need in real time, and send your donations straight to our access center with ease. We will ensure these items get in the right hands as soon as they are delivered. This is by far the easiest way to donate the items we need the most, and it makes a tangible difference by putting items directly in the hands of our clients! Just email donate@ascenciaca.org with details of your order. Thank you.
Move-In Donations
Imagine moving into your new home after being homeless, and having absolutely nothing to unpack — No bed to sleep on, no cups to drink water, and no silverware to eat with. Finding housing is hard enough, but homeless individuals who become housed often have a difficult time acquiring furniture, appliances, and household essentials.
Our Move-In Program allows our Ascencia supporters to kick off our clients’ fresh start by providing them with new household essentials from their Amazon Wishlist.
Sign up for our email newsletter to be alerted when our newly housed clients need your help. You’ll also be the first to hear about our clients’ success stories! You can also donate directly to our Move-In Donation fund and Ascencia will purchase items on your behalf for our housed clients.
