What Health Education Is Power does
Mission
Our organization's primary purpose is to provide sanitary supplies (such as soap, face masks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and hand sanitizer) as well as food (granola bars, canned food, apple sauce, etc.) and water to unhoused individuals in the Los Angeles area. We have operated throughout Los Angeles in the last 5 years, starting in Westwood and moving to North Hollywood, and three different locations within Hollywood-moving to wherever unhoused encampments are popping up. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we noticed how unhoused individuals were more susceptible to the infection and we having more trouble meeting their most basic needs relating to hygiene, food, and water, so we shifted to focusing on these essentials, upping our distribution from 10-15 people served each week to anywhere from 20-40 people, depending on our supplies and the number of people on the street at a given time.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Program
In 2022, we served upwards of 1000 packages of food and/or water distributed over roughly 50 weeks of distribution. Each week varied from about 20 people served to almost 40, with most weeks settling at 25-30. We also served in 3 different areas because of frequent encampment sweeps (meaning the eviction of the people we served, which led us to move to areas with active encampments and unhoused people needing supplies).

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $2k to $2k (−2%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
