COTS - in California

COTS - in California We exist because homelessness exists. We envision a community where everyone has a place to call home.

At COTS, our mission is to assist those experiencing homelessness to find and keep housing, increase self-sufficiency and improve well-being. We empower homeless families, veterans, and adults to rebuild their lives and find housing. More than a shelter, we are a network of thousands of volunteers, collaborative partners, and staff that work together to provide comprehensive services that end homelessness – for good.

Spend an afternoon making a direct impact in a child’s life at Kids First Family Shelter.

With school out for summer, your presence helps create structure, connection, and moments of joy through hands-on activities and meaningful engagement. You’ll be part of a safe, welcoming space where children can learn, play, and simply be kids.

Every hour you give helps strengthen stability and brighten summer days for children in our community.

Show up, connect, and make a difference they feel right away.

COTS is urgently seeking welcome home baskets for clients moving into permanent housing.

These items are VERY needed as families take their first steps into stable housing. You can make a big impact by donating a full basket or organizing a group drive. If you cannot assemble a complete basket, unopened household supplies are still deeply appreciated and essential.

View the full list on our website and help us welcome people home.
