Simpson Housing operates a shelter for homeless adults and housing programs for individuals and families moving into housing. Our goal is to provide every new guest that walks through our doors a new, clean blanket for their bed. We're running out of blankets and will need them for the coming winter months! You can help by buying a new blanket during your regular shopping trip. You can also encourage your friends to do the same. We can accept new twin, full, and queen size blankets. Please no throw size blankets or baby blankets. New blankets may be delivered by scheduling an appointment at: https://calendly.com/d/dtj-ych-5hn/160-glenwood-donation-delivery-appointment?month=2022-07

Virtual Opportunity
Create a memorable gift for a family moving into a new home. Families coming from shelter often only have some clothing and a few items from their previous home. When they move to a new place they need some basic items to get settled. SHS is seeking organizations and groups to sponsor "Welcome Home Baskets" for families as they enter the Family Housing program. Volunteers provide a basket or tub including the household items listed below. If including all the items is not possible, we ask that you assemble identical baskets with the same supplies. Laundry soap Dish soap Toilet paper Paper Towels Kleenex All-purpose cleaner Sponges or scrub brush Dishcloth and towel Laundry Detergent Shower curtain, liner, and rings Bathroom rug Broom and dustpan Mop and bucket and broom Plunger and Toilet Brush $20 Target or other discount store Gift Card (Optional) Plates/Bowls/Pot/Pan Cutlery Pack Hangers Please schedule a drop off appointment at our new 160 Glenwood Office https://calendly.com/d/dtj-ych-5hn/160-glenwood-donation-delivery-appointment?month=2022-06 For additional information and to express interest, please reply to this posting or e-mail kjaksha@simpsonhousing.org

We serve 66 homeless adults in our shelter every night and about 95 cups of coffee. You can help by organizing a coffee drive! If you're a coffee drinker, I know you appreciate how a hot cup can make you feel ready for your day. Shelter guests get up as early as 3 am to take several buses to get to work and coffee helps them out the door. Many of our guests drink a cup of decaf in the evening, hungry and waiting for dinner. For non-coffee drinkers, we also can use tea bags and hot cocoa packets! Although we purchase our coffee from a warehouse store, it still is a large expense. We brew both caffeinated and decaf and we would welcome any brand or size (must be ground). Please schedule an appointment to drop off your donation at our 160 Glenwood Office https://calendly.com/d/dtj-ych-5hn/160-glenwood-donation-delivery-appointment?month=2022-06 For additional information and to express interest, please reply to this posting or e-mail kjaksha@simpsonhousing.org
