How You Can Help
Community Essentials Drive for the SafetyNet

Drive Runs Through May 31, 2024

In this unprecedented crisis, we’ve seen civic leaders, agencies, donors and volunteers come together to create and support safe spaces for families. Once a family is settled into their new temporary housing, the need shifts to the essentials of daily living. Items for individuals, such as warm socks, toothbrushes and soap, as well as things the agencies need to maintain a clean healthy environment are in urgent need. You can help by clicking the Amazon gift registry linked and purchasing supplies for a SafetyNet shelter today.
