MHALA Donation Drive: Help Us Help Others

Our team is organizing a drive to benefit local members of Mental Health America of Los Angeles (MHALA). We’ll be gathering items through July 12th and if you’d like to donate any of the items below, you can drop them off at our office before then, or call us and we can come and pick them up.

MHALA is a non-profit organization that provides support and resources for those who are mentally ill, including veterans and those who are homeless.

Along with mental health counseling, MHALA provides education, job training, medical services, substance abuse referrals, temporary and permanent housing, and case management. Their outreach teams are multidisciplinary.

One in five people in the United States suffer from some form of mental illness, and most people know someone who battles mental illness. There are not enough resources to help everyone, and your donations will help make a difference.


MHALA is dear to our hearts. Over the years, we’ve organized multiple donation drives, and we donate $200 from every escrow we close. MHALA provided services to Brad and Shannon’s son, Andrey, for many years. Sadly, Andrey lost his battle with mental illness and addiction in October 2023.
