People experiencing homelessness have trouble accessing many basic necessities we sometimes take for granted. From clean underwear to personal care and hygiene items, your in-kind gift can help restore dignity, hope and purpose to someone in need.
In addition to in-kind donations, we accept cash donations to allow us to purchase basic necessities and most needed items.
