Homeless Christmas Trees #Santacause is a collaborative arts project helmed by Skid Robot to help make the upcoming Holidays less cold and dark and more festive for the homeless people who live in our city by “planting” Christmas Trees he will graffiti around various homeless communities.
The goal is to call attention to our homeless and to create a
dialogue for extreme poverty by providing art and activating people
to donate Holiday Gift Bags to those in need, who reside on the
streets of LA.
The team will be “planting” Christmas trees in the city the weeks prior to The Holidays.
Generous Angels are called to action, through this 10-day
digital fundraiser, to gift essential items so that Santa Cause can
deliver these items the homeless people on Christmas
Eve.
Donation gifts such as the most-needed necessities like toothbrushes, socks, soap, and pet food will be placed in the Holiday Gift Bags under Skid’s painted Homeless Christmas Trees.
Why Is This Project Important?
Homelessness in Los Angeles has become more and more of a crisis over the last six years, and the numbers don’t lie. Since 2012, the numbers have swelled by 75%. The problem has become so overwhelming that voters have agreed to increase taxation by $4.6 billion in order to build the housing necessary to alleviate the epidemic. As it currently stands, the city is in the bottom percentile for homeless sheltering. Through this project we hope to help as many people as possible have a warmer Holiday.
To find out how you can join Homeless Christmas Trees and donate items instead of giving perks email the unanymous collective: homelesschristmastrees@gmail.com or visit @homelesschristmastrees
