Water for the homeless
Donation protected
We, Julia Peccin and Jedi Solomon, are active Junior Delegates for this volunteer program and we need your help. Every other Saturday morning we go out to camps to distribute food, water, clothes, sleeping bags, tents, and tarps. On top of all the hardships they naturally encounter, they are forced to leave camps and travel sometimes miles and be relocated to get water. Sadly, most take water from private properties. We have heard many stories about people who are scared to go to jail for simply trying to have clean water to drink and cook.
We are asking for any amount of donations to help us buy and distribute water to the homeless, especially in the upcoming summer heat. We appreciate anything you can give.
In our busy schedules and lifestyles, it is easy to forget how important it is to remember those in need. That is why here at Sleeping Bags for the Homeless of the Bay Area, we aspire to change people's lives and spread the love and necessities that all humans deserve, regardless of ethnic background, gender, or sexual orientation.
Where does your money go?
Money raised from our GoFundMe goes into buying water for the homeless for our distributions. We usually visit 6 camps every other Saturday. Each camp may have 15-20 people. We set the goal to buy 12 cases each distribution, which will cost about US$ 60.00. We will keep an eye on sales and try to get good deals to spend the money wisely. Between distributions, if weather gets hot, we will buy water and distribute to the homeless on our own time. Though we rely a lot on groceries and donations for food, water is a basic necessity that we have to ensure we hand out to people and that we always have enough! Thank you for your help!!! We will keep you updated.
