UPDATE: 7th annual Baskets of Gratitude a success!

On the profoundly heartwarming day of Sunday, December 10, 2023, we united with boundless love and compassion to assemble and distribute 2000 bags teeming with love, warmth, and essential provisions tailored for the unique needs of the homeless and families in need. Each bag overflowed with love, containing vital items for infants, school supplies for children, along with over 200 toys and 250 books—all made possible through our collaboration with Union Rescue Mission, People Concern, Feed Streets of LA, and Westminster Free Clinic.

The Organizations Our Baskets Went to:

1) Union Rescue Mission

They help men, women, and children experiencing homelessness so they can get off the streets and find their way home.

2) The People Concern

Since 1963, The People Concern have been trying to end homelessness across Los Angeles County through housing, services and advocacy.

3) Feed the Streets of LA

Feed the Streets is a community-based mutual aid organization that collects donated food, hygiene products, clothing, and educational items for hand to hand distribution.

4) Westminster Free Clinic and Community Care Centers

Westminster is a private, non-profit community care center serving the working poor and uninsured of Ventura County.

Every bag transformed into a vessel of pure love, designed to infuse every moment with love and gratitude, celebrating the collective contributions of supporters, donors, and the Love Button Global Movement community.

Thanks to the extraordinary contributions of compassionate individuals, dedicated volunteers, and incredibly generous donors, this love-filled endeavor became a symphony of love in action, leaving an enduring and profoundly positive impact on the lives of the homeless community, families in need, and the hearts of children too.

Gratitude resonates deeply with all those involved, as together, we transformed compassion into a mighty, love-fueled force for change.

Join Us on December 10th in Giving Back to Those In Need Across Southern California With Baskets Gifted With Love

The entire planet is yearning for love, unity, and harmony at this moment. Let’s unite to elevate the collective spirit with love and, in the process, raise funds for our Baskets of Gratitude event!

Every year, Love Button comes together to do our annual Baskets of Gratitude event to purchase, donate, package, and distribute items to those in need. Last year, we filled over 1,500 bags for individuals, families with lower income, and children in transition homes. With every item we handle, we offer a heartfelt blessing, praying that each one may be received with love, well-being, and abundance.

In recent years, we’ve faced the trials of a relentless pandemic, witnessed families uprooted by natural disasters, and grappled with the shadows of war and other catastrophes. In these moments of hardship, our resilience is fueled by love and the spirit of giving.

Join us in a heartfelt mission on December 10th to place love and compassion above all else, demonstrating to hardworking families that even during their most challenging hours, kindness and generosity prevail. Please, stand with us in prioritizing love and charitable actions, showing that in the darkest hours, the light of humanity shines brightest.

You can contribute funds or items, assemble these baskets, or join in on the distribution efforts. Items that we are looking for are essential products like new clothing, warm blankets, personal care products, toys, school supplies, and even books.

This year, our theme is “Gifted With Love” to reflect the essence of our collective efforts to spread love and kindness to those in need during the holidays.

Whether you donate, contribute, or volunteer, the act of giving serves as a powerful source of inspiration and upliftment for all involved. Being of service to others is a profound way to share, so please come join us in any way you can!
