Bee a Little Better (BALB) serves unhoused and underserved friends on Thursday nights in the Skid Row Community, just east of Downtown Los Angeles.

Our experienced and street-savvy volunteers have put the time in necessary to really get to know the people we serve, developing close ties with the most vulnerable of Angelenos. We work hands-on, earning their trust and at the ready every Thursday with a warm meal, supplies, and a sympathetic ear.  

We currently serve between 175-225 hot meals every week, including soup, teriyaki chicken bowls and sandwiches complemented with water, beverages, fruit and snacks. Toiletries, hygiene, and other personal items are made available as they are donated, as well as tents, blankets, and seasonal cold weather gear. We also carry first aid items to help when needed, as well as Narcan for emergency situations.

Bee a Little Better Group is a registered 501c3 and is 100% volunteer-run. We ensure that every donation goes directly to the people we serve. Long-range plans include a storage facility/office for the warehousing and coordination of larger-scale donation campaigns.

BALB collaborates with local organizations, like Union Church of Los Angeles, for special events and has made connections to local businesses who are sympathetic to the cause and to magnify our impact.  

BALB welcomes volunteers of all ages to walk with us as we serve the streets of LA.
