Youth homelessness is a crisis in San Diego. On any given night more than 1,000 young people are unsheltered. Help Lucky Duck Donation to provide housing and education to these youths! Donate Now. Visit: https://www.luckyduckfoundation.org/youthhomelessness/

Homelessness among individuals 55 or older is tragically the largest and fastest growing segment of people living unsheltered in San Diego and nationwide. According to the latest point in time count, seniors over the age of 55 account for 29% of San Diego County’s unsheltered homeless population, with 46% falling into homelessness for the first time. Preventing unsheltered homelessness before it begins is critical for a myriad of reasons. Donate to Lucky Duck Foundation to help these seniors.

While they call on regional elected officials to add more immediately available beds, the need to provide protection and warmth from the elements is critical. As such, the Lucky Duck Foundation has committed to distributing several thousand more Empowerment Plan winter coats during the fall and winter of 2022. This is in addition to distributing more than 5,000 coats since 2020. The first 100 coats were distributed on World Homeless Day (10/10) in partnership with the Empowerment Plan, who distributed 100 coats across 10 different cities on 10/10. These weather-resistant coats are manufactured by homeless parents and transform into sleeping bags to provide reprieve and protection from the cold pavement. It is the least everyone can do while everyone encourages elected officials to add inclement weather shelter beds. Coats will be distributed through the food and water initiative, which has provided more than 1,500,000 meals to date and reaches approximately 1,000 people per day. Please consider donating in support of this effort. All donations are matched up to $1.5 million per year by LDF co-founders Pat & Stephanie Kilkenny.

Thanks to generous support from local philanthropist Gwendolyn Sontheim and the Aqualia International Foundation, LTD, Lucky Duck partnered with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, Regional Task Force on the Homeless, and numerous outreach teams to distribute food and water to people living unsheltered throughout San Diego City & County. The San Diego Sheriff’s Department provides the meals and water, and Lucky Duck Foundation staff and volunteers pack the meals and coordinate with local outreach workers to distribute them across the City & County. These efforts provide neighbors experiencing homelessness with life-saving sustenance to support their efforts to end their homelessness. The program reaches approximately 1,000 people daily. In less than two and a half years, the program has distributed more than 1,500,000 meals. With your help they can continue to expand this number to provide food and water and help move even more people move off the streets and into shelter, housing, and a healthier and brighter path.

Troops who have bravely sacrificed their comfort so everyone may live freely, are not always deployed with bedding.
