Sharing and Caring for those in need

Sharing and Caring for those in needSharing and Caring for those in need

Worthy of Love LA and the Little Tokyo Business Association

Peace, Love & Birthday Cake

Worthy of Love LA and the Little Tokyo Business Association partners annually to host a birthday bash for "unhoused" children in DTLA.  Skid Row-kyo volunteers and Little Tokyo Dance Club members help with operations, logistics, entertainment and people power

"Help others help others" & "Another chance to dance"

This is what WE DO...  Sometimes our Skid Row-kyo Mission and Little Tokyo Dance Club converge in Spirit, Culture & Community.  Worthy of Love LA and the Little Tokyo Business Association host birthday bashes for DTLA "unhoused" children.  The children's favorite part of the program is the DANCING.  This is what we do:  "help others help others" and promote "another chance to dance."

    Life on Skid Row

    We are ALL brothers and sisters of this EARTH...

    Young resident calls the sidewalks of skidrow home.  OUR brothers and sisters survive the streets by bounding together.  We all have in common life's struggles.  SHARE  CARE  and Be THERE when others need help...

    Distributing essentials...

    Distributing toiletries, blankets, clothes, etc. on skid row.    Groups and organizations collect / assemble / provide our Skid Row-kyo Mission countless items to distribute directly to our brothers and sisters who call the sidewalks of skid row home.  Contact us for direct distribution of goods, packaged foods and bottled water to our unhoused neighbors...

    Always a NEED. "Run Outs" are a reality...

    We collect bottled water, blankets, snack food, etc. to distribute to our homeless neighbors.  Sadly no matter how much we collect the NEED always exceeds the supply.  Contact us if you have something you wish to have directly distributed to our neighbors who call the sidewalks of Skid Row home.  Bottled water, blankets, packaged food, T-shirts, etc.  You collect it, we will deliver it.  We have 20+ years delivering directly to our Neighbors of Skid Row.

    MISSING PERSONS ALERT !!!

    Sharing "MISSING PERSONS ALERTS"

    Sharing "missing persons" alerts  and updates with the hope of connecting loved ones back together is a vital tool in searching for the "missing"  so we post on our social media  pages as well as posting on our websites:  www.skidrowkyo.org and www.ltdanceclub.org 

    Ground search and canvassing the streets

    Unfortunately thousands of people are reported missing.   Tens of thousands of people (or more) are missing but not reported.  Skid Row is always a FOCUS area for the search of the missing ((as well as places like Mac Arthur Park) as it's probably the densest concentration of MISSING PERSONS in DTLA... 

    WARNING !!! HAVE A PLAN...

    Here is a fact, a large part of our HOMELESS population in Los Angeles are MISSING PERSONS.  Problem with SEARCHING for a MISSING PERSONS in Skid Row (aside from obvious dangers - not a safe place) a very high percentage of the people on Skid Row or various encampments are HIDING OUT and don't want to be FOUND.  So people SEARCHING will encounter many challenges.  Our Skid Row-kyo Mission when on the ground in Skid Row employs non traditional trust building strategies and tactics when engaging with the unhoused community, I would highly recommend anyone that is planning on going to Skid Row or any neighborhood in LA really think it through and have a plan...  Like mentioned before,  a large percentage of people on the streets ARE HIDING OUT or are up to nefarious activities and DO NOT welcome attention...  

    Voluntarily Missing...

    Unfortunately a large portion of our unhoused community can be classified as voluntarily missing.  We can only hope and pray the LOST will someday be reunited with family and loved ones.  Or at a minimum "closure" to tragic realities when people go missing...
