Project Homeless Connect

Survival Kits

Below is a specific list for the survival kits that each guest will be recieving. Each backpack should include the following items from the list below. Many individuals are trying to focus only in one item, if this is the case, please contact our office to let us know and we will provide you with a list of things that you can collect. 

If you're gathering a group of volunteers to work on this specific project, then we recommend that you have each individual to be responsible to prepare 1 to 2 back packs with all the items listed below. 

Besides the list below, we're also collecting the following:

Canned food items: easy open pop top cans, proteins such as tuna, canned chicken, peanut butter, canned chili, crackers, fruit cups, cereal, juices, soups, and other readily edible foods that do not require much preparation (please avoid collecting food items that are in plastic containers unless the plastic is sturdy. All items will be provided to the guest in a bag and we're afraid if the bag gets too heavy the plastic will break and their food will no longer be good.)

Outerwear: jackets, hoodies, sweaters. Gently used is ok

Shoes and socks for men and women sizes ranging from, but not limited to, 7-12 men and 5-10 women.

Backpacks, duffle bags, bags with wheels etc.
