Pack a Pack
Fill a backpack for the homeless. Items such as socks, t-shirts, underwear, hats, ponchos and/or hygiene products (toothbrush, toothpaste, and a bar of soap) are needed. A backpack or other type of bag allows individuals to carry their possessions and important documents around with them.
Host a Collection Drive
Host a collection drive for those in need of the basics. Our programs are always in need of items such as individually wrapped snacks; peanut butter crackers, chips, granola bars, or noodle cups. We desperately need toilet paper, household cleaning items, bath towels, personal hygiene items, razors and shaving cream, laundry detergent, and crossword/word search puzzle books for our clients. The size of the items doesn’t matter so think of some creative ways to collect those free bottles of shampoo, conditioner, lotion and tiny bars of hotel soaps from your friends and neighbors. They might be cluttering up your bathroom drawers now, but they can be put to great use in our PATH program which distributes these items to the homeless.
