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.

  • Your gift equips young adults transitioning out of local programs like Boys Republic with hands-on job skills and confidence for their future.

  • You help mentor, tutor, and guide youth and families toward growth, opportunity, and lasting stability.

  • Your support funds hands-on cooking classes led by local chefs, teaching residents how to shop wisely, cook healthy meals, and build community around the table.

  • You make it possible for individuals and families to access safe, supportive spaces for mental health and holistic care.

  • Your gift keeps our thrift shop running, offering quality clothing at low, flat rates so families can shop with dignity.

  • You help sustain a welcoming café and bodega-style market where neighbors can gather, connect, and experience hospitality.
