we meet people where they are.
We give our unhoused neighbords support and resources to get back on their feet. Whatever their need, from a meal to shower, clean clothes to lockers for storing their belongings, housing assessments to job training, or simply someone to listen, we’re here.

We reach people who struggle to receive assistance by meeting them where they are at. We bring meals, shampoo, soap, wet wipes, razors, shaving cream, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, new socks and underwear, warm clothing - and even pet food - with us.
Our consistent visits build trust over time and often people choose to end the cycle of living in a tent, car or RV and move into our hotel-style shelters. Once in our care, we focus on creating a plan and path to permanent housing. It makes us happy!
