These are the items we need to provide basic necessities to the unhoused members of our community.  We offer a clean place to sit and rest, enjoy a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal, a shower and space to clean up, and laundry facilities to wash clothes. Of course, we also offer intangible resources like guidance navigating county services.  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, (also known as Paul's Place) between 8AM and 1:30PM Monday - Friday.
