Help us provide basic necessities to the unhoused members of our community. We offer a clean place to sit and rest, enjoy a cup of coffee, a bowl of cereal and hot food, take a shower with space to clean up, and laundry facilities to wash clothes. Of course, we also offer intangible resources like guidance navigating county services and medical needs. By providing these items you can help those less fortunate to start their day with hope. Thank you!
Items can be brought to 1111 H Street (Paul's Place) between 8AM and 1:30PM Monday - Friday. Volunteers are available to help unload your car. If you choose to ship items they must arrive during our Resource Center hours. Items delivered after we are closed are unlikely to get to us. We are happy to give you a donation receipt. Questions?
