We are a grassroots, volunteer organization that collects discarded and forgotten items in your business’ Lost and Found and redistributes them to those in need.
ABOUT US
Lost & Found is a newly formed volunteer organization started by a team of three Los Angeles women who have made it their mission to collect goods for the common good. We offer a simple service – we pick up lost and found from LA clubs so we may give them to people in need.
It's easy to do...merely collect your items in your lost and found and reach out to set up a pick up time at your location! We’ll come to your business, collect the items, provide you with a tax deductible receipt and deliver the items to those in need.
ABOUT US
WHO BENEFITS
All donated items will go to our partner Safe Place for Youth (SPY). Located in Venice, SPY provides homeless and at risk youth with resources that are essential to exiting the streets and achieving stability. Their continuum of care includes street outreach, education and employment support, housing programs, health and wellness services, healing arts, and basic survival needs of meals and clothing.
