ABOUT US


Everything starts with ONE!


One thought, one experience, one idea, one smile, one meal, one hug, one call, one dollar or one person.

You have the power to change someones life -

start today! 

OUR MISSION

"Starts With One Today" is a non-profit based out of Los Angeles. Our VISION is to change and impact 1 million lives.


We do so through our weekly fresh food and basic necessities drive to over 400 of Skidrow's residents - rain or shine every Sunday. As well as offering Transitional Housing to men struggling with homelessness, incarceration, immigration etc.

We also serve our youth through our annual school events in South Central Los Angeles such as Prom Giveaways and Back-to-school events. SWOT also provides Social Media/Marketing internships for teens/young adults thoughout the world. 


We believe EVERYBODY IS SOMEONES SOMEBODY.




Our MISSION is to install COMPASSION and EMPATHY into the world by being a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.  Whether that is children, adults, teens or animals. 

We focus on the individual because we believe if you can't feed a hundred people, feed just one.

If one look can start a friendship, one word can end a fight, one smile can save a relationship then one person can change someones life.

We may not change the whole world but even if we only change one life that is enough.


If a hundred men were drowning and you could only save one, would you walk away?
