Celebrate and Support Those Most in Need

Save to Favorites

There has never been a better time to get involved and give back to those in most need in your community. At Downtown Streets Team, we are committed to assisting those that are experiencing homelessness in our community, with the ultimate goal of transitioning those in need into employment and stable housing. We currently have a few opportunities that necessitate volunteer support.

1. We are looking for support in creating hygiene kits for our Team Members. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic raging across the United States, one of the groups most vulnerable to contracting the disease are those who are experiencing homelessness. Every day, our team conducts outreach to those who are living on the streets and distributes hygiene kits, which include such necessities as toothpaste, deodorant, and shampoo, as well as items that are now more important than ever: hand sanitizer, masks, and sanitizing wipes. The hygiene kits you donate may be truly life-saving for someone living on the street without regular access to these necessities.
   
   You may choose to simply donate materials for hygiene kits yourself, or you can host a donation drive through your office, church, youth group, or other community that you are a part of.

1. We are looking for volunteer support on our weekly shifts. Every week, our Team Members clean up local communities to ensure they remain pristine and beautiful. We would love to have some volunteers who are willing to join us on those shifts. Social distancing and masks are required.

1. Finally, on December 9th, we are having our annual holiday celebration. While the pandemic has put on hold our traditional celebration, we are hosting a celebration outside to honor our Team Members and thank them for their hard work throughout the year. We would love to have members of the community come show their gratitude for our Team members who are currently experiencing homelessness, as it would mean a great deal to them. We will be social distancing and wearing masks.

If any of these opportunities, or our mission in general, are of interest to you, please reach out! We are also open to other opportunities if you have certain skills that you believe could be useful for our Team Members. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you!
