Urban Rest Stop For The Homeless

We are Blanket Tampa Bay. We care about the Homeless.

What if you had no place to live? No family, no transportation, no medicine, no  hygiene products, no way to take a shower or to get cleaned up, no way to wash your clothes, no food to eat, no place to sleep at night or no protection from the elements?

How would you feel?

That's how more than 75,000 people in Florida feel everyday.

There are places that will feed the Homeless but no place for them to use the bathroom, shower or wash their clothes.

My goal is to create an Urban Rest Stop. An Urban Rest Stop is a clean, safe and welcoming facility where individuals and families experiencing homelessness can come and use restrooms, laundry facilities and shower. Seattle Wa. started  Urban Rest Stops. Check out their website http://urbanreststop.org/

My goal is $10,000.

I need the money to find a location, refurbish and install showers, washers and dryers. I will be using the business plan laid out by the people in Seattle Wa..

I will be asking for donations from the community for the supplies needed for the showers, laundry detergent, towels. I will also be installing lockers for them to store their belongings.

I plan on using volunteers to staff the Rest Stop. Once we have the first Urban Rest Stop in Tampa, I will go on to build another one in Clearwater, St. Petersburg and on and on.

God Bless,
