Project Dignity began on February 14, 2022, as a way to build a sense of community between housed and unhoused community members by sharing food, resources, and community conversations. Since our first “Mondays Matter”, where we served cookies, coffee, and hot chocolate to a small handful of unhoused neighbors at McArthur Park in Central Long Beach, California, we collaborated on resources and supplies.

 

Over the past year, our efforts have become a reliant source of mutual aid, connections to city-led resources, system navigation, and neighbor-to-neighbor connections with community volunteers who also simply listen. 

​

Project Dignity efforts created collaborations between neighborhood associations, community organizations, faith-based groups, and the government to bring dignity to neighbors experiencing homelessness. While we are aware that these efforts are "band-aids" where a tourniquet is needed, it is better to make connections and bring dignity and hope while we advocate for a city-wide or regional Strategic Master Plan for Homelessness.

WeHope Shower and Laundry Truck 
June 2022 - November 2022

Project Dignity sourced and advocated for county funding for a trailer that provided an average of 25 showers and 12 loads of laundry per 4 hour visit.  Coming weekly June - August 2022 and every 1st and 3rd weeks from September - November. 
 

Unfortunately, WeHope needed to pull out of their Southern California hub and move their operations back to the Sacramento area. However, we learned a great deal about homelessness outreach and the community's role during this amazing partnership. 

​

While we work to return this needed service to the city and MacArthur Park, we continue to provide food, water, supplies, connection to resources/services, and most importantly, community to those experiencing homelessness.
