CoMO Mobile Aid Collective is dedicated to providing marginalized citizens of Columbia, MO with resources, care, & dignity. This fundraiser is to purchase winter supplies such as coveralls, propane/fuel, heaters, hand/toe warmers, etc. for our unhoused friends in Columbia.
Last year we purchased a ton of winter supplies and are already getting requests this year. And we need your help to make this loving care happen, please! We are serving approximately 70+ folks in camps and more that are sleeping rough elsewhere, so any support is appreciated.

The CoMO Mobile Soup Kitchen serves lunch and provides supplies to camps and the downtown area on Mondays and Wednesdays. The CoMO Mobile Med Team offers a first aid clinic on Wednesday evenings at Loaves & Fishes and attends to unsheltered friends as needed throughout the week. The CoMO Mobile Street Team provides food and supplies during cold and other extreme weather events.
Depending on the season, we deliver food & supplies 2-3 days/week to our unsheltered neighbors living in wooded areas around the city, flying signs at intersections, and utilizing the main day center in town. Approximately 100-120 folks are served at each run. (Numbers change due to season and other factors).
We have a family of volunteers that prepare meals, donate some supplies, and assist with deliveries & camp/trash cleanups. We are always looking for more caring friends to get involved, especially as supply support. Since we are now working year-round (rather than just during the winter), we have an ongoing list of needs and items that we need to purchase continuously including food, tents, sleeping bags, tarps, and more.
All funds will be used to purchase winter supplies for serving our unsheltered neighbors in need here in Columbia, Missouri. Radical hospitality to us means supporting those in need no matter what. Please help us continue our mission!
