We exist to see families thrive.

The People Concern empowers the most vulnerable among us to rebuild their lives. One of Los Angeles County’s largest social services agencies, The People Concern was formed in 2016 in a merger of two trusted social service organizations based in Los Angeles County, OPCC and Lamp Community. Informed by more than fifty years of work in the community, The People Concern is a leading provider of, and advocate for, evidence-based solutions to the multi-faceted challenges inherent in homelessness and domestic violence. With compassion and profound respect for those we serve, we provide a fully integrated system of care – including outreach, interim housing, mental and medical health care, substance abuse services, domestic violence services, lifeskills & wellness programs, and permanent supportive housing – tailored to the unique needs of homeless individuals, survivors of domestic violence, challenged youth, and others who have nowhere else to turn. The People Concern’s model of integrated and comprehensive care empowers our participants to navigate the multi-faceted obstacles in their lives, become their best selves, and ultimately, connect with and contribute to their communities.

This year, the Santa Claus Shop celebrates its 51st year of continued service here in Summit. The Santa Claus Shop, strictly a volunteer organization, is affiliated with SHIP (Summit Helping Its People). With your help, the Santa Claus Shop magically opens its doors for two days to more than 500 needy families and senior citizens of Summit, New Providence and Berkeley Heights. These individuals are invited to pick out new clothing, house wares and toys for members of their immediate families. On November 29th, 2017 the Santa Claus Shop will open its doors to the community for holiday shopping. Our guests, who are referred to us by social service agencies in the three towns, enjoy a dignified, free shopping experience with complimentary refreshments provided by local businesses and gift wrapping by our volunteers. This project can only continue through the support of those who believe, as we do, that a contribution to the Santa Claus Shop expresses the best values of the holiday season. The shop exists solely based on the donation of local businesses, and volunteers. With the monetary donations from the area residents, local organizations and businesses, the Santa Claus Shop can purchase the gifts that allow less fortunate neighbors to experience the joy of holiday giving without the financial burden.
