The S. Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank turns surplus goods into life-changing resources for homeless service agencies in Los Angeles County and beyond. Since 1989, over $340 million in product donations from 1000 companies have been distributed to more than 600 agencies. By repurposing surplus inventory from corporations, including Fortune 500 companies, the program reduces waste, saves space, and supports sustainability while helping people in need. Donors benefit from tax deductions, improved public image, and meaningful corporate philanthropy. Operating from a 108,000-square-foot warehouse in Los Angeles Countyl, this innovative project keeps costs low—less than five cents per dollar of goods distributed—allowing agencies to focus on critical services. As one of the nation’s largest homeless resource hubs, the Shelter Resource Bank proves that a greener world and a better future can go hand in hand.
