Down But Not Out
Helping the homeless and low income since 2013
Our Mission
Down But Not Out (DBNO) is a volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to providing essential resources to the homeless and low-income
communities. Our mission is to offer hot meals, hygiene kits, clothing, and emergency preparedness resources ensuring that those who are down are never out.
Our Story
In 2013, three friends with a passion for helping others saw the growing need for expanded outreach in Los Angeles. While volunteering, they realized that existing efforts only reached a fraction of the homeless population. Determined to do more, they formed DBNO, a grassroots organization committed to reaching the most underserved areas.
Since then, DBNO has been active every single Thursday without fail, growing solely through word-of-mouth and community support.
More than a decade later, our mission continues to grow solely through the generosity of people like you. Find out how you can get involved.
