5/18/2022 - we are now collecting gas cards now for low-income people to get to work. All money will go to buying gas cards. We also collect the items below regularly, so if you have these please email [email redacted]
We are a local group that helps low-income and homeless persons by means of food, clothing, tents, blankets, hygiene items, food, and other needed items. Lately, we’ve come across some true American horror stories. We’ve met a lot individuals living in hotels, squatting, living without power, and outright living in cars and in the woods. These arent normal homeless situations. We’ve also run across-many families without and food. Food stamps typically are good for 2-1/2 weeks and run out. Families rely heavy on local food banks but not all can get food there if they dont have cars. I literally went to an elderly womans house who had one hot dog and her food stamps werent renewing for two weeks. It’s really bad out there.
We need help getting non-perishable foods, tents, sleeping bags, blankets, diapers, wipes, baby food/formula, lafies products, for local area low income and homeless. Im asking all of you to request these items from next door and local facebook/craigslist with us. I gave away six sleeping bags yesterday to get an idea of the need. We also are collecting needed items to wrap up for kids/families for the holiday season like:
Flashlights
Batteries
Candles
Home first aid kits
Backpacks
Gas cards
Grocery cards
Dog/cat food/litter
Propane
Butane
