In celebration of Giving Tuesday, Thrive Causemetics joined forces with its long-time Giving Partner, Beauty 2 The Streetz, to volunteer at the Midnight Mission in downtown Los Angeles. This collaborative effort aimed to support the unhoused community by offering essential services and bringing beauty, dignity, and hope to those in need.
Founded by 2021 CNN Hero Shirley Raines, Beauty 2 The Streetz serves unhoused individuals across Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas, providing hot meals, showers, and hair and makeup services each week. The organization’s mission goes beyond basic survival needs; it focuses on fostering human connection and restoring dignity to people who are often marginalized. Since 2017, Thrive Causemetics has been a proud partner, contributing over $1.6 million in funds and products to support the organization’s impactful work.
Thrive Causemetics Collaborates with Beauty 2 The Streetz for Giving Tuesday to Support Unhoused Communities in LA. This initiative saw a group of over 40 volunteers, including community activists, professional hair and makeup artists, and even actors, come together to serve the unhoused community in Los Angeles. Among the notable volunteers were Pressley Hosbach, Charli Burnett, Christine Obanor, and Dee Daly, all of whom lent their time and energy to make the event a success.
“At Thrive Causemetics, we believe in the power of beauty to change lives—not just through our products, but through the impact we make together,” said Karissa Bodnar, founder and CEO of Thrive Causemetics. “We are honored to support Beauty 2 The Streetz and their compassionate work in creating moments of care, connection, and humanity for those often overlooked. Giving back is at the heart of everything we do, and thanks to our customers and Giving Partners, we’ve been able to donate over $150 million in funds and products to help communities thrive around the world. Together, we all thrive.”
