Who we are

Mad Collective began as a grassroots effort to collect period products for unhoused neighbors. After the devastating fires, it became clear that Los Angeles needed long-term, sustainable support. Our city was already facing a crisis—food insecurity, unaffordable housing, and thousands of unhoused neighbors struggling to survive. Now, the need is even greater. Mad Collective is here for the long haul, building a system that not only meets urgent needs but also helps individuals and families rebuild their lives.
