Summer Drive 2026
Many of the people we serve through our Drop-In Centers and Street Outreach spend their days outdoors, walking long distances to reach food, shelter, healthcare, and other vital services. As temperatures rise, access to basic necessities becomes even more important.
Your generosity provides participants experiencing homelessness and instability by providing clothing, footwear, hygiene products, and other supplies they need most to stay safe over the next few months.
