Homeless & Human is empowering the homeless
& creating opportunities for YOU to help!

Overview
We are currently collecting donations for Community Resource Boxes for people in need.  These boxes, which are sometimes referred to as Blessing Boxes, touch upon all three parts of our mission: Service, Advocacy, Education.

Benefits
- allow people in need to retain some semblance of dignity while meeting some of those needs
- provide awareness of the plight of the homelessness crisis
- create opportunities for conversations around what is needed & what is/is not helpful
- help keep focus on homeless-minded items
- environmentally-friendly

List of Helpful Items to Give

Important Things to Note
Only donate items in good condition that you yourself or your loved ones might use/enjoy.
Do not donate trash or items that you deem unfit for yourself.
The homeless are HUMAN.
Kindness is free.
The homeless often have little to no storage space.
The homeless have no kitchen, so ready-to-eat foods are sometimes more helpful, vs foods that are ingredients or require preparing and/or cooking
