We have been building relationships and directly supporting a camp. For this colonial holiday Thursday November 27 we will be making hot food, gathering supplies and delivering. Redistributing food, supplies and funds directly to unhoused folks is our way of acknowledging and resisting against the systemic forces that continue to oppress and exploit.

We appreciate any of your assistance.

WAYS TO HELP OUT
- see their wish list, second slide, items needed
- Venmo us to help us pay for food and items needed to do a distribution of hot food
- Desserts like cookies or brownies that are easily baggable

FOR DONATIONS
Please message us to donate. We are accepting donations Monday through Wednesday this week in Eureka.

Call to support the Northcoast Environmental workers who are on strike since September 15, 2025. The staff unionized and went on strike in response to being disciplined for having anti-sweep positions and for participating in encampment support while advocating for the unhoused community as well as protesting and writing about the genocide in Gaza.

We’ve had a remarkable turn out on our Summer Donation Drive! We still need a bit of help to bring it home. Can you gather 5-10 bottles of sunscreen or 3-4 packs of A shirts by Friday June 21st? In total need 60 bottles of sunscreen and 12 packs (4 shirts in each pack) of A shirts TO FINISH OUR ENTIRE DRIVE! If you can pitch in *any amount* at all please msg me.

Also, you can venmo us and we’ll do the shopping: oldtowncommunityalliance.

We asked folks to help us gather supplies by pledging a designated amount to help us get to our goal. We’ve reached our goal on ALL our requests except for sunscreen and packs of A shirts.

More info: all donations get given out to community in need during our next (always free) Community Cares event where we supply food, coffee, desserts and set up our Free Store with supplies and our Community Partners provide needed services like hair cuts, hygiene kits, condoms, first aid kits, free books and more.
