Once homeless himself, our member Silver Lake Love’s Chi Ip installed a Community Closet right at Sunset Junction in Polka Dot Plaza. Painted green with its own yellow polka dot, the dresser’s sign invites needy people to help themselves to jackets and sweaters. Those with excess can leave a gift there.
On a trip to New York, Chi and his friend would not take “No” for an answer, as they helped find a youth a place to sleep for the night and a path to achieving his dream. Link to that story at the end of the blog post about Silver Lake’s new way to do clothes distribution.
