Once a month we are meeting to create food/supply bags for the homeless. If we can get everyone on board to just bring one item for 50 food bags we can help give 50 people a meal to start. It feels so good to hand someone a bag, showing them we give a shit about them and they are not forgotten. We will be working on setting up donation bins at the Crescent and hopefully 2 other capital hill locations.
If you have a vehicle and can help drive us downtown to hand out the bags that would be amazing as well.

-Perishable food items are great but have to be brought in the day of or a couple days before event so they don’t go bad. We make sandwichs the day of and label them in case of food alergies. Bottled waters are good because the containers along with the bags can be used to keep things dry and protected in the weather. That is why we are using large Ziplock bags as well. They make great storage pouches as second use. Soft and hard foods need to be available because many homeless people have health issues and some can’t chew on something hard. We try and get a mix of things.

-Hygene Products like toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotions, chap stick, band aids, tampons, q-tips, dental floss, soap, shampoo, ect. You name it and it is something someone out there doesn’t have and needs.

-It is cold outside and Socks, Hats, Scarves, Blankets are in grave need. If you don’t know what to bring and want to donate you can drop off in a bag at the Crescent Labeled We Give A Shit and it will be stored until the next monthly event.

2 weeks before the Event I will post a list confirming what everyone is bringing or has donated so far. Thank You.
