FAAM Los Angeles is a group of volunteers dedicated to providing first aid and meals to unhoused individuals living on the streets of Los Angeles. Founded by people who couldn’t stand by while neighbors suffered, we travel weekly to sidewalks and encampments, offering food and medical care to those who often slip through the cracks of city programs. Our mission is simple: everyone deserves comfort, dignity, and a helping hand, no matter their circumstances.

Last year, during dangerous heatwaves, we raised money for water, ice, and popsicles—not just to cool people off, but to offer a small treat to those who rarely get one. We distributed hundreds of gallons of frozen water and thousands of popsicles, making a real difference for people facing extreme conditions. Now, we’re working to improve the comfort and quality of our first aid outreach. We need seating for people while their injuries are treated, a pop-up tent for shade, and more wound care supplies like scissors, bandages, and ointments. Every dollar goes directly to the unhoused, as our group is entirely volunteer-run.

We always need volunteers to help us provide face-to-face aid, and we’re searching for a space to work from instead of using members’ homes.

What we need most right now is donations and financial support. Until now, we’ve funded everything ourselves, but we’re reaching out to the public to make our work more sustainable. Please join us in supporting LA’s unhoused community—your help truly makes a difference.
