Walk a Sunday on Skid Row
Every Sunday at 10 AM, DO GOOD and its partners set up at 5th & Towne in Los Angeles. This 3D model of the block lets you walk through one of those mornings in your browser, stop by stop, and try what volunteering there feels like.
Free, no sign-up. Runs in a current browser on a computer, tablet or phone and loads about 6 MB.
Play the volunteer game
Spend one Sunday at 5th & Towne as a volunteer. Unload the bus, hand water to the people in line, pack Humanity Packs, find the right size of socks and hoodies, serve plates, help with pet food and pack a first aid kit. Eight stops, one task each, and a goal for the day: hot meals, water, socks and clothes, hygiene kits and wound care. The people on the block are neighbours to meet, never targets or a source of points, and the figures you talk with are fictional.
Help out for one Sunday at 5th & Towne
Loads about 6 MB when you press play.
Move with W, A, S, D or the joystick. E or the orange button helps, talks and picks things up.
Your progress is saved only in your own browser. At the end of the day you get a summary with links to volunteer on a real Sunday or to donate.
What it is
The walk recreates the 500 block of Towne Avenue as it looks on a Sunday morning: the buildings, tents and parked cars, the canopies and tables, the line of people waiting and the volunteers handing things out. It was built from our own photos and videos of Sunday Service, Street View imagery of the block from 2024 and 2025, and public LA County building data. The goal is simple: to show people who have never been there what actually happens on a Sunday, and why we keep coming back.
Three ways to walk
Volunteer for a Sunday
Help out at all eight stops: hand over water, clothes and meals, talk with people in line and reach the day's goal before 12:30.
Guided walk
The camera takes you from stop to stop, from the vans arriving at 10:00 to street medicine further down the block.
Explore freely
Walk wherever you like. Each stop opens its card when you pass it, with photos from real Sundays.

One Sunday at a time
Why showing up every week is what builds trust.
The TRUE GOOD BRANDS house
Around the corner from the tables is a small house for the brands of DO GOOD TRUE. Each partner brand has a stand with its logo and its products, modelled in 3D after the brands' own product photos, and the whole TRUE directory hangs on the back wall. At each stand you can read what the brand makes, open its brand page here on the website and follow links to the products on the brand's own site.
DO GOOD TRUE is an editorial list, not a certification. Each brand page says whether a brand is a partner, an editorial listing or an affiliate link. See how DO GOOD TRUE works.
How it was built
Buildings, vehicles, tents, props and people were modeled in Blender and run in the browser with three.js. People move with motion capture from the CMU Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database, and their bodies are based on MakeHuman (CC0). No figure in the walk is modeled on a real person. Some props, plants, lamps and textures are free CC0 assets from Poly Haven, simplified for the browser. The photos shown at the stops are DO GOOD International's own photos and video stills from Sunday Service.
Privacy and devices
- No account and no tracking inside the walk. Your game progress is saved only in your own browser.
- The first load is about 6 MB, so Wi-Fi helps on a phone.
- It works best in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. Older phones may run it slowly.
