AHOPE Needle Exchange

We are so incredibly grateful to our friends at Ricky Inc for this amazing winter delivery of backpacks, warm weather gear, socks, underwear, and hygiene supplies to AHOPE and PAATHS.

Almost everyone we serve is currently experiencing homelessness—living in shelters or surviving on the streets.

These supplies will help our folks stay warmer, safer during the winter months, and it serves as a reminder that they are loved and supported, despite the anti-homeless sentiment and policies at the local and federal level.

Thank you, Ricky Inc, for showing up for our community in such a meaningful way. We truly couldn’t do this work without partners like you.
