Imagine walking into school every morning, eager to learn, but carrying the heavy burden of uncertainty—uncertain where you'll sleep that night, where your next meal will come from, or how you'll get the supplies you need to succeed. For many children at Ninth Street Elementary School, this is their reality.
But you can help change that. Ninth Street Elementary serves more students experiencing homelessness than any other school in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Despite their hardships, our students show up every day, ready to learn. With your generosity, we can provide them with the essentials they need to thrive—inside and outside the classroom.
Your donation can help by:
✅ Providing meals
✅ Supplying clothing and hygiene kits for dignity and well-being
✅ Equipping students with school supplies to support their education
✅ Offering stability and hope to families facing hardship
We welcome monetary or in-kind donations to help meet these critical needs. Items such as toiletries, hygiene kits, new or gently used clothing, and gift cards for food purchases make a direct impact on our students' daily lives. If you are interested in making a difference, please contact me, Principal Reyes, at (213) 896-2700. You can also donate online following the instructions below.
Your kindness and generosity mean the world to our students, staff, and families. Thank you for supporting Ninth Street Elementary and helping us create a brighter future for every child.
With gratitude,
Principal Reyes
