Immediate Needs

We Help to Fulfill Immediate Practical Needs of People Experiencing Homelessness and General Poverty

People experiencing homelessness and general poverty often need basic items just to survive each day. These items are hard to keep for long periods of time and also difficult to keep clean making frequent replacement necessary.
