Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Los Angeles was a hotspot of growing homelessness. Now, this crisis is now set to get much worse. The pandemic has brought suffering, fear, and helplessness to populations everywhere. Therefore, inspired by the Los Angeles-based accessories brand-The Giving Keys, this retail store, situated in Abbot Kinney Blvd, is designed not only helps homeless individuals find employment and a chance to transition out of homelessness but also creates a space for customers to get a taste of hope, realize themselves and take action for a better life.
