Serving Neighbors who are Homeless

When difficult times happen, a kind and loving response makes a difference. That’s why the Blankets and Kits program was created—to remind someone facing a difficult time that they are not alone. Caring donors ensure that someone who needs comfort not only receives a warm blanket and other supplies they might need, they are given unconditional kindness, respect, dignity and love.

Kits distributed to our unsheltered neighbors include:

Welcoming New Neighbors

When neighbors around the world are forced to leave their homes and begin a new life in various parts of the United States, they often travel with a few materials possessions. Compassionate donors help welcome our newly arriving neighbors and provide essentials like food, water, blankets and hygiene supplies.

Kits distributed to our new neighbors include:

Supporting Students' Education

Aiding Health and Wellness

The ability to brush your teeth and wash your face are things many don’t think twice about. But for some people access to hygiene supplies--an important component staying healthy- is scarce. Because of generous donors, our neighbors have the hygiene items they need when the supplies are hard to come by.
