Los Angeles lost a innovative and compassionate leader yesterday. Supervisor Gloria Molina was very supportive to Recycled Resources. Her office always willing to listen to ideas that we had and work towards a solution for people without housing in Northeast Los Angeles. She will always be remembered. 💜

The legendary politician gave hope to women, Mexican Americans and Eastside residents throughout a 32-year career that transformed L.A. politics.

Hello! It’s been a minute! We had to take a pause for quite some time, but we’re excited to start providing direct services again, collaborate, and foster community support for our neighbors facing homelessness, housing and food insecurity, and in need of connection.

If you’re interested in volunteering or seeing what we have planned, we’ll be taking in donations, as well as asking for help preparing meals while we restructure and make plans to open the NELA Saturday Drop-in Center in partnership with All Saints Church, community partners, and YOU!

We’ll be collecting donations Saturday mornings starting March 11th. If you’re interested, we’ll be posting volunteer opportunities soon. Please message us here with any questions, or just stop by, we would love to see you!

Our Story

OUR MISSION

Recycled Resources for the Homeless is a small nonprofit organization that started in 2008 in Northeast Los Angeles (NELA). The majority of our work is made possible by volunteers and we operate on a zero percent profit margin. Recycled Resources was founded in order to provide a safety net and basic necessities to all people experiencing homelessness in the Northeast Los Angeles community. The main areas we focused our outreach and engagement were Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Cypress Park, Glassell Park, Montecito Heights, and the areas along the Arroyo Seco River. Our goal was to outreach and engage people experiencing homelessness, create trusting and supportive relationships through our outreaches, and provide basic necessities as there was no homeless service provider in our NELA community. In addition to providing food, clothing, hygiene, etc, we also offered case management services in order to link people to services and support/advocate for them as they navigated these services.

The mission of Recycled Resources for the Homeless is to reduce harm to our neighbors experiencing homelessness. We call our organization Recycled Resources because we firmly believe that if everyone recycled resources they have but may not be using or they may not need, there would be enough for everyone to safely co-exist. We believe that housing and access to basic needs is a right and that all people have worth and value. We operate with a harm reduction and housing first philosophy, advocating for the rights of people experiencing homelessness through education. Our goal is to create programs that reduce harm to all people living in the community and support other communities when they attempt to implement these programs. We provide education training and exposure to people who engage their neighbors without shelter in order to produce strong results. We are outside the box thinkers and believe traditional homeless services and approaches need to be diversified.

Most of our work is made possible by the relentless and passionate work of our volunteers. Our ability to operate programs is made possible from the generosity of our neighbors, local business, and city leaders. Do not feel the problem of homelessness is so vast that you cannot make a difference so you do nothing; everyone doing something small can have a monumental impact. Please join us.
