The Hot and Cool Foundation
The Hot and Cool Foundation has two components. A non-profit addressing food insecurity through workforce development and a Fund that moves capital into black and brown communities.
Our Purpose
Homelessness has been declared a is a state of emergency in LA County.
We believe that personal and communal healing are fueled by economic empowerment. The Hot and Cool Foundation works to manifest this belief by equipping at-risk individuals with the support and experience needed to build a positive future. Now, with the launch of the Hot & Cool Fund, we extend this mission by directly moving capital into our community, bypassing traditional barriers to fund the grassroots organizations and big ideas that drive systemic change.
Thus, our workforce development program centers personal power and prioritizes individuals that are on the margins of society to create a pipeline for gainful, sustained employment.
What We Need
Support our mission in LA County, where Black residents, just 8% of the population, make up a staggering 34% of the homeless. Dive into the roots of systemic poverty, and you'll find communities of color most impacted by food scarcity, housing unavailability, and unequal education.
South Central LA stands out, hosting the U.S.'s largest food-insecure population—over 2 million individuals. We're committed to offering nutritious meals to the 69,144 people without homes. Make an impact. Support us now.
