Homeless Outreach Program

Depression and homelessness are deeply connected. We show up for our unhoused neighbors with dignity, supplies, and community — because no one should fight alone.

What We Do

Every outreach event is built on one principle: show up with dignity.

Care Kits & Supplies

We distribute hygiene kits, socks, snacks, and essential supplies to people experiencing homelessness in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.

Meal Bags

Volunteers assemble and distribute meal bags at each outreach event. Food is one of the most immediate needs — and sharing a meal is one of the most human acts of connection.

Mental Health Referrals

We provide mental health referral cards connecting people to local services, the 988 Lifeline, and community resources. We don't provide clinical services — we provide connection.
