Our Mission

homeless families as they move into transitional housing. TWC turns sparse,
institutional apartments into comfortable homes. By providing new and like-new items, we help create an environment of comfort, warmth and dignity.

Topanga Women's Circle 2025 Challenge Grant

This year, the needs of homeless families is greater than ever. With significant cuts to funding for our nonprofit partners, families who have spent months living in motels, shelters, or on the streets are finally being offered housing, but they’re stepping into empty apartments. That’s where TWC comes in. We transform these bare spaces into homes filled with warmth and comfort.

Thanks to your generosity in the past, we’ve outfitted over 75 apartments this year alone. But we need your help to continue.
 
A generous group of families has pledged $10,000 to launch our Annual Challenge Grant – every dollar you give will be matched, doubling your impact!

THANK YOU!
