“I donate monthly to the Lucky Duck Foundation because no young person should have to face homelessness alone. These kids deserve stability, safety, and a real chance at a future. I trust Lucky Duck to turn my support into action—beds, services, employment, second chances. It’s one of the most meaningful investments I make.” – Larry Angione, LDF supporter
“We are so pleased and humbled to support the Lucky Duck Foundation. We greatly value their collaborative approach and use of business principles to reach a meaningful number of people through a variety of programs and strategies. Supporting their work at a high level brings us great fulfillment and we highly encourage others to do the same.”
–David & Vala Lueth, $1 million donors in 2024
“There are a variety of reasons that make our support of the Lucky Duck Foundation an easy decision. The Foundation has developed a portfolio of strategies and programs that truly and effectively make a difference in the effort to address homelessness. There is no single solution that can address the entire homeless population, and we sincerely appreciate their decision to prioritize youth and seniors who are unsheltered. Helping young people and elderly individuals avoid being homeless is simply the right thing to do and a good investment that saves lives and money over the long term.
The Board of Directors are exemplary in their focus and the co-founders (Pat and Steph) infuse an energy into the organization’s actions that is inspiring. We are truly excited about our support of the Foundation and we encourage other individuals and corporations to do the same.”
–Eugene “Mitch” & Rebecca Mitchell
“Lucky Duck Foundation’s mission is critical to my wife, Karen and myself. They support trying to better individuals who are homeless in San Diego County. We feel fortunate to be able to work with the Lucky Duck Foundation Team, a group of people who are firmly committed to making San Diego County a better place for our sisters and brothers who happen to be homeless.”
–Tom & Karen Mulvaney
“Lucky Duck is dedicated to addressing the homeless situation. The people who are involved are the purest individuals and leaders in our community. We just trust them so much. They are attracting and bringing together like-minded people who really want to make an impact and take positive steps toward improving the homeless situation. They are doing it in such a positive and thoughtful way, with projects like Timmy’s Place. We are thrilled that they created such a great way to help address the problem and to honor Timmy’s parents Rolf and Mary Benirschke as well.“
