When disaster strikes, we are called to act. Thousands of people responded to the Los Angeles fires in Altadena, the Pacific Palisades, and Topanga Canyon earlier this year, and The Goodness Tour was among them. The Goodness Tour, with support from the 1440 Foundation and many others, brought joy in the form of music, art, and film to these communities and to the people of Los Angeles. This video documents The Goodness Tour and the hundreds of community members who joined them on their journey to spread hope, love, and happiness when it was needed most.

“Burn Scar”, dedicated to the City of Angels, was written in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Together we lift communities from the ashes.

The 1440 Foundation recently collaborated with First Responders Resiliency, Inc. to host 65 First Responders from all over California, for a 3-day wellbeing program at the campus, offering it free of charge in recognition of their service.

A special moment occurred when the Goodness Tour Foundation, working in fire-affected areas like Altadena and Pacific Palisades, helped kids from a local school create over 65 thank you cards for the first responders. Messages like “You are our heroes” brought tears and heartfelt gratitude from both the kids and the responders.

Thank you to all First Responders for your support in our communities!

An Evening with Author and Activist Kevin Adler, June 6th, 6:30 - 8pm, Capitola Library, Capitola, CA

As the CEO and Founder of Miracle Messages, Kevin Adler leads this transformative non-profit, an organization committed to helping individuals experiencing homelessness rebuild their social support systems and financial security. This mission is achieved through innovative programs such as family reunifications, a phone buddy initiative, and pioneering basic income pilots. His new book, When We Walk By, is both a thorough analysis of America’s homelessness crisis and a research-based, solutions-focused guide to ending it.

Join us for an introduction to the book, Kevin's work, and a panel discussion on solutions-based homeless services. Chris Benner, UCSC Professor and Director of the Institute for Social Transformation, along with folks with lived experience of being unhoused will participate in the discussion.

Kevin's dedication to this cause stems from a deeply personal experience with his late uncle, Mark, who battled schizophrenia and lived on-and-off the streets for three decades. Tragically, Mark passed away in Santa Cruz, CA, at the age of 50. This connection has fueled Kevin's commitment to reshaping the narrative around homelessness and fostering empathy and understanding.

In a significant development, Miracle Messages has expanded its reach to Santa Cruz, partnering with local nonprofits to extend its impact. Kevin's attachment to Santa Cruz, where his uncle spent a substantial part of his life, adds a profound dimension to our efforts in the region.

Light refreshments will be provided. Please register to help us plan our refreshments. Sterling Communications Housing for Health Partnership
