Dear Friends and Supporters,

As our community faces unprecedented challenges, with 633 shelter beds county-wide at full capacity, it's crucial that we come together to support our unhoused neighbors who are enduring the harsh realities of the current weather conditions. Way 2 Love is dedicated to providing immediate assistance to those on the streets, but we need your help.

We are urgently seeking donations of essential items to distribute to those in need. Your contribution can make a significant difference in ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals experiencing homelessness. Here's what we urgently need:

• Warm Blankets: provide warmth and comfort during this chilling weather.
• Food Cards or Gift Cards: Offering flexibility for individuals to purchase clothing and hygiene items according to their specific needs. Clothing donations can be challenging due to size and storage limitations.
• New Socks and Underwear (both men and women): Basic necessities for personal hygiene and comfort.
• Feminine Hygiene Products/Kits: Ensuring access to essential hygiene products for women.
• Hygiene Packets: Bundles of basic hygiene items like body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and shampoo, individually bagged for convenience.
• Snack Packs: Including items like granola bars, trail mix, candies for diabetic individuals, water, and instant oatmeal for quick energy boosts.

Additionally, we are seeking partnerships with companies willing to donate these items in bulk to support our ongoing efforts.

Please join us in making a difference in the lives of our unhoused neighbors during this critical time. Your generosity and support can provide hope and relief to those who need it most.

For donation drop-off locations or more information, please contact us at 510-827-9859 or via email at [email protected]

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

Together, we can make a difference!
