Houseless Holiday Stockings

This holiday season, we’re raising funds to create joyful, dignity-centered stockings for our unhoused neighbors—each one filled with a Taco Bell gift card for a hot meal, $10 in cash for whatever they most need in the moment, and a small transistor radio so they can listen to music -- which is lifeline-level important out here, and most folks have no reliable way to access it. Of course, we will also add some goodies. These stockings are care, warmth, connection, and most of all resilience. They also remind people we care, and these relationships are the “secret sauce” that helps chronically unhoused neighbors allow us to help folks take steps toward stability and eventually housing. Help us deliver a joy and justice, and a whole lot of love this season.
