Youth Homelessness Creates
Compounding Basic Needs
Access — not awareness — is the core issue. Young people experiencing homelessness face daily gaps in food, water, and essential supplies that affect their health, safety, and ability to move forward.
Millions of young people lack reliable access to nutritious food, creating cascading effects on health and stability.
Los Angeles has one of the highest concentrations of youth homelessness in the country, with consistent unmet basic needs.
For just $25, a dignity kit provides food, hygiene supplies, and daily essentials to a young person experiencing homelessness in LA.
500 Backpacks.
500 Young People.
One Powerful Message.
Teen Health is assembling and distributing dignity kits to youth experiencing homelessness across Los Angeles — combining immediate nourishment with a lasting sense of care.
Each backpack is filled with healthy snacks, hydration, and essential supplies — everything needed to face the day with more stability. These aren't generic care packages. They're thoughtfully curated kits to meet real, immediate needs.
For youth without consistent access to basic essentials, a dignity kit provides more than supplies. It delivers a message: you matter, and someone sees you.
This program is part of Teen Health's broader commitment to meeting young people where they are — providing tangible, immediate support that creates the stability needed to engage with longer-term services and resources.
Distribution is coordinated directly with partners across Los Angeles to reach the youth who need it most, where they already are.
Every dollar you give
goes twice as far
Through donated products and nonprofit partnerships, each $25 backpack delivers $50 in retail value. That means your contribution immediately doubles in impact — reaching more young people with more support than a standard dollar-for-dollar donation could achieve.
Built for Real Needs
Every backpack is thoughtfully packed with items chosen to address immediate physical needs and support overall wellbeing.
Healthy snacks
Nutritious, shelf-stable food items for immediate energy and nourishment.
Hydration
Water and hydration essentials — a basic need that's often hardest to access.
Personal care
Hygiene essentials that support dignity and daily wellbeing.
Essential supplies
Practical items for safety, stability, and daily life on the go.
$50 retail value
Sourced through donations and partnerships to maximize every dollar given.
