Make an
impact today
Inspired by the Neapolitan “coffee suspended,” your donation can prepay a coffee, meal, or service for someone in need — a simple act that reminds them they belong.
Your gift is more than a donation. It’s a seed of hope, planted in Pomona, growing into a stronger, more connected community.
Where does your money go?
When you give to Sospeso, you’re helping build a stronger, more connected Pomona. Your donation supports job training, mentorship, and community programs that foster dignity and belonging. You help fund our Teaching Kitchen, counseling, and thrift shop, providing access to skills, care, and affordable essentials. Your gift also sustains our community coffeehouse and market — a place where neighbors gather, share meals, and find hope. Every contribution plants a seed of renewal, growing opportunity and connection for those who need it most.
