Through targeted donation drives across the San Gabriel Valley, Village 143 aims to support people experiencing homelessness by collecting essential items to help them meet their basic needs. The goal of this program is to assist those experiencing homelessness, leading with compassion and empathy, and building relationships with local organizations, service providers, and city partners.

​

Village 143 was started in 2022 and is named after the pager code for "I Love You" to remind all of us to love each other and support our neighbors through acts of kindness.

 

SGVCOG will host a new donation drive or event each quarter to help unhoused SGV community members. Check back for additional information about future Village 143 donation drives!

Beat the Heat Drive
Current Drive - Summer 2023

As summer is underway, Village143 is again committed to fulfilling its promise of finding practical and positive ways to make a difference in the lives of unhoused individuals in the San Gabriel Valley. Homeless individuals face added challenges during the summertime. And you can help today by donating water, sunscreen or spreading the word about our wishlist. Any contribution can make a significant difference in someone's life.

​

Please consider donating today and help us spread the word about our cause. Share our flyer with your networks!
