We have a Community Shower where those living rough can come in, wash their clothes and have a shower. $25 can provide a new toothbrush, toothpaste, soaps, shampoo and hot shower for someone coming in from the street.

New Home Start-up
Moving into Supportive Housing or permanent housing is a lot for people experiencing chronic homelessness. From a fork and knife, towels, bedding, dishes to clothing, furniture and groceries, some participants need to start from scratch. You can help them get set up with what they need to make their house a home. $100 can give someone a dish and cutlery set, bedding and towels as they settle in to a new home for the first time in a long time.

Meal
