We operate Climate Stations to offer a place to warm up, cool down, or simply find refuge. When the weather turns dangerously hot or cold, our Climate Stations are essential for those without shelter. We also welcome guests who need a safe place to stay. Our third Climate Station, located at 5th and Maple St, is now open and already assisting the Skid Row community during these hot summer days by providing water, food, drink, and various supplies daily. #homeless #losangeles #nonprofit
