Ojai Tent Town—OTT

08/04/2026

We are looking for August signs ups for our Ojai Tent Town meal train.
The OTT is a sanctioned outdoor shelter helping to support unhoused individuals currently living in tents around city hall. They have minimal access to cooking facilities, some of the participants get state funded pre packaged food which they are grateful, although, the heart led home cooked meals are eaten more, creating less waste also providing better nutrients and taste.
If you are looking for a way to give back and like to cook this is a great opportunity:)

OTT big news, last week was the ground breaking for the housing to be built! Today KEYT just came and did a story on OTT. We are so thankful for all the compassion in Ojai, it was awesome to see some of the participants sharing their stories, may all towns keep coming up with compassionate creative solutions regarding housing for all 🙏🏽
We also got a great donation of what looks like organic locally grown produce and OTT is grateful for all of it! 🙂

Happy April, spring has sprung and our meal train calendar is now open!!! For those unable to volunteer in person, preparing and delivering a meal is a valuable alternative, providing essential assistance to individuals in need.
We’d love to see you, so hop on over sometime soon 💐🙏🏽🕊️

Look who decided to blossom and bring some added joy to the OTT on Saturday🌹🌺🌷

The elder women especially loved her, another participant pointed out that some pollen looked like flecks of gold dust, which reminded some of us there is figuratively gold to be found everywhere, sometimes we just need to take a second look, reflect a bit more, go inside or look around, that with optimistic love as our perspective the gold can always be found.

We are grateful for Atomic Love Explosion who often adds some extra beauty here at the OTT, and for all of you who help care for others in need.
I🙏🏽💌❤️😍✨
