GivingTuesday is a global day to do good.
Giving Tuesday, held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a day dedicated to giving back and inspiring generosity worldwide. On this day of global generosity, we invite you to join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for families with young children who are experiencing homelessness.
Together, we can ensure that no family has to face the harsh winter without a safe place to call home.

The Facts
In Los Angeles County, 1 in 5 homeless individuals are children under 18, with 3,000 minors experiencing homelessness on any given night, according to the 2023 LAHSA report. The majority of these youth are living in unsheltered conditions—on the streets, in cars, or in abandoned buildings. While many are part of families facing housing instability, a significant number are unaccompanied minors, fleeing abuse, neglect, or aging out of foster care without adequate support.
This crisis is driven by skyrocketing housing costs, family instability, and economic hardship, forcing families into eviction, overcrowded living conditions, or homelessness. Families with young children, especially those with kids aged 0-5, are particularly vulnerable. As affordable housing options dwindle, these families are increasingly pushed into temporary shelters, cars, or makeshift living spaces, with few long-term solutions in sight.
With a surge in families seeking housing, food, and childcare, service providers in the South Bay like Family Promise urgently need resources to meet the rising demand.
