The Care Package
We took some time off, but see the holidays approaching. We will be collecting food, clothing and unwrapped toy donations for Holidays distribution. Dates to come soon.
We have another ambitious goal to collect shoes for mental health patients dispatched from Kedren Medical Center.
Many mental health patients who are dispatched from Kedren have no home, no family and in many cases, NO SHOES and end up back on the streets of Los Angeles in irritable and unhealthy conditions that force them back into hospital and in some cases, the morgue.
I will be reaching out to local organizations for donations.
I will be accepting new and previously worn shoes of all sizes.
My goal will be to donate shoes to the Kedren Medical Center at least quarterly, but strive for a strong emphasis on donating once a month.
Anything and everything helps.

PROVIDING CARE IN SMALL PACKAGES
The 2020 pandemic was harsh for many Angelinos. Many small businesses and families are still recovering. I, like may small business was forced to close the doors to my brick and mortar cycling boutique & gallery The Crafty Pedal. I know first hand how harsh 2020 has been. With zero support from our government I turned to my art to survive and provide for my family. Unfortunately not many families have been as lucky. This is our time to give. I will be donating food & toys to families in need next week. Every donation counts. We are accepting unwrapped toys and non perishable sealed foods.
With the help of my amazing friend Andie Cardenas and the So Cal Rambler Club we have raised some toys and food to donate, but need more! I ask that you please consider all the families affected by this unfortunate pandemic and recession. Anything and everything helps in large amounts.
Your donations could turn frowns into smiles and brighten the darkest of rooms.
About The Care Package.
Since 2015 we have been providing Care Packages and hand delivering them to our homeless neighbors in and around DTLA.
Our Care Packages include Soaps, Deodorants, Tooth paste, Tooth Brushes, Sanitary Napkins, Lotions, Shampoo, First Aid Kits, Water, Clothing, Shoes, Socks, Nail Clippers, Sweets and seasonal treats.
Homeless populations in California continue to grow. DTLA’s Skid Row is an unfortunate mecca for homeless people. These residents have medical, social and financial needs that we share a deep compassion for. We work with mental health volunteers who help us understand crucial characteristics that impale some of these people to better their lives. We gain no money from our efforts and provide our packages simply because we care.
We welcome any contributions and donations you may have. To donate any food, toiletries, clothing or your time please contact us at thecraftypedal@gmail.com
Thank You for carrying. <3
