ABOUT US

Goal #1: Provide support to the recently housed population.
Following the Housing First model, we aim to support shelters and temporary housing programs with resources tailored to their specific populations. These resources range from medical aid to social events to professional development opportunities.

Goal #2: Inspire USC students to commit to a life of service.
USC is located in a community where thousands of people could benefit from the expertise of our undergraduate and graduate students. Our goal is to open the door for students to contribute their time and skills in meaningful ways.

We could continue to describe who we are, but we believe actions speak louder than words. Check out blog, where we share and showcase the work we’re doing on the ground.

Our services.

  • Nourish

    We provide packaged meals, clothing, and hygiene kits at partner shelters every other week—meeting immediate needs with dignity and care. Medical and dental students join to offer basic screenings and referrals.

  • Empower

    From résumé building and ESL to creative arts and youth sports, we host small, welcoming workshops that build confidence, skills, and connection. Students lead; residents set the pace.

  • Restore

    With partners like PATH, we convert underused rooms into calming wellness spaces—soft seating, greenery, art supplies, and health check stations. Small upgrades, lasting impact.
