We accept the following items around the clock to keep the bags filled:
- toothpaste
- toothbrush
- soap
- chapstick
- deodorant
- wipes
- socks
- bandaids
- ziplock bags
Monetary Donations are always accepted! Easy donation link on our home page.
Once a month we will have a call to action - volunteers come to our facility and physically package the items to deliver to the streets.
About twice a month we will hit the streets and put the packages in the hands of those that are in need. We continually look for people that would like to keep bags in their car to give out as they are on the streets.
The bigger vision is to become a resource “hub” connecting local resources to ultimately provide sustainable solutions to assist the homeless. But we have to start somewhere... becoming more and more aware of the power of community and collaboration.
