Our Mission
Join Our Cause

With a purple theme symbolizing support for those impacted my addiction and homelessness, we strive to uplift those in need, ensuring everyone has access to basic hygiene products and self-care essentials.

Collective Needs

Supporting hygiene for our homeless community.

A person dressed in a winter coat and hat sits on a city street, huddled over with a quilt draped over their knees. Next to them is an acoustic guitar lying on the ground, and a cardboard sign that reads 'THANK YOU 4 UR HELP & SUPPORTING THE HOMELESS' is propped up against a container. The setting suggests an urban environment with buildings lining the street.

Importance of Hygiene

Providing essential hygiene supplies to those in need.

A person is sitting on a sidewalk with their head in their hands, next to a building with a window. Nearby, an open container is placed on the ground, suggesting they might be seeking help or donations. The person is wearing a long coat and a blanket, indicating possible cold weather.

Hygiene and Income

Engaging with the homeless to understand their needs.

A mural on a yellow brick wall depicts a person wearing a beanie and backpack holding a phone, standing beside a homeless man sitting on the ground. The homeless man holds a sign that reads 'Sharing is Caring'. The wall also features graffiti and has a clear, blue sky above it.

A person in a grey hoodie is sitting on a chair near a crosswalk, appearing to be resting or possibly homeless. They are surrounded by pedestrians walking by, some carrying bags. Bicycles are docked at a nearby bike-sharing station. Urban street elements such as a parking sign and wet pavement are visible.
