Shirley Raines runs the nonprofit Beauty2TheStreetz, which provides not only food and clothes, but also hair color, hair washes, wigs, and makeup to the homeless on Skid Row.
Now the nonprofit is busy trying to educate the homeless about the dangers of COVID-19.
She is collecting donations at https://www.beauty2thestreetz.org/
Raines says "we find ourselves not only providers of items and necessities but also educators of letting them know 'this is what it is.' So all the information I get, as the CDC updates us as we get the news on the radio stations, we take that information out to the homeless and I say 'this is the information we have been told, this is the new information. Make sure you cover your face and wash your hands.'"
The nonprofit is also giving out hand sanitizer and face masks to the homeless.
