When you fill crisis agency shelves with new toiletries and cleaning supplies, you’re freeing up a huge amount of their staff time and money so that they can do what they do best – provide…

•Qualified Personnel•Safe Housing•Nutritious Food•Education•Counseling

…to those they serve.

We aim toprovide them withan entire year’s worth of supplies... …and that’s actuallybeginning to happenat the smaller agencies!

“Yes......they are carrying us through the whole year. That’s why we LOVEHelp for the Homeless so much!!!” - Dawn Kasten, Fox Valley Warming Shelter

But we still have a ways to go…

• “The Salvation Army definitely runs out before the next drive, we only allow people to take 1 item every 30 days and we’re lucky if supplies last until September.” -Heather Merten, Case Worker

• “Last year Fox Cities Community Health Clinic went from 2 to 5 dentists, and from 2 to 5 hygienists. The supplies lasted through August.More than 35,000 patients were seen in the dental clinic last year.” -Jim Trundle, Clinic Coordinator

“…and I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep”, –Robert Frost

What do they need?How can I help?

When you start your day, think about what you reach for and buy a few extras for someone else next time you shop.
