What We Do
Donations
We accept various kinds of donations distribute to those in need throughout the community. The items include clothing for children and adults, small household items, perishable goods and cash. Please inquire for our specific needs at this time. Additionally, we will provide curbside pickup for items donated within the metro area
Encampment Items
These items are collected and distributed to homeless camps. Because these individuals and families are living on the streets the needs are different and most items need to be consumed quickly due to lack of resources. For that reason in addition to providing items like clothing, blankets, sanitizer, water and socks we also provide hot meals and snack packs.
Snack Packs
The purpose of the snack pack is to provide an option that is high in sugar and calories and can easily be carried and consumed by someone that is constantly moving. These packs come in a reusable bag and contains non perishable food items so people can eat them when needed. Because we can purchase these items in bulk the packs cost apps. $2 each to create and are adjusted seasonally to best meet the needs of the community. Freuquent items include: Water, Granola Bars, Candy, Apple Sauce, Cookies, Chips, Hand Sanitize, Socks and Hand Warmers(seasonal).
History
