❤️ Help Our Neighbors Stay Safe & Healthy ❤️

A simple donation can make a life-changing difference.

Every day, individuals and families in our community face homelessness and housing instability. Many are living in tents, vehicles, or other unsafe situations while they work toward finding permanent housing. Together, we can help provide comfort, dignity, and hope.

We are collecting new or gently used camping gear and new hygiene items to support our neighbors in need.

Most Needed Items Include:
🏕️ Tents • Sleeping Bags • Tarps • Blankets • Camping Mats • Backpacks • Flashlights • Batteries

🧼 Toothbrushes & Toothpaste • Soap • Shampoo • Deodorant • Razors • Toilet Paper • Wet Wipes • Hand Sanitizer • Feminine Hygiene Products • New Socks & Undergarments
