Ways to Care
Thereβs more than one way to love your neighbor.
Whether you share what you have, serve alongside us, or give to keep our vans rolling, every act of generosity brings hope to the streets of Kansas City.
Together, we make compassion a habit.

Whatβs in your closet or pantry could change someoneβs night.
Clothing
Warm layers save lives in the winter, and clean shirts bring dignity year-round.
We accept new or gently used:
- Coats, hoodies, jeans, gloves, hats, socks, and shoes
- Seasonal clothing for all sizes (menβs large and XL most needed)
Blankets & Sleeping Bags
Our neighbors sleep outside through every season.
Clean blankets, sleeping bags, and mats are always in high demand.
Food, Water & Supplies
We serve more than 500 meals each night we go out.
Help stock our shelves with:
- Bottled water, protein snacks, canned goods, fruit cups, granola bars
- Travel-size hygiene items, wet wipes, and hand warmers
