In-Kind Giving. Many of our clients do not qualify for food or housing subsidies, and some are homeless or live on the verge of homelessness. Every month we help these most-vulnerable clients with emergency food bags, hygiene products, bus tickets and grocery or clothing gift cards. We need your assistance! Host a DIY food, hygiene or gift card drive. We have simple lists and instructions to get you started!
