Backpacks needed! Hydrate the Homeless gave out over 100 backpacks to the homeless last year, and we are looking to do it again this year with your help.

A backpack is a crucial item for the homeless, allowing them to transport the few belongings they have in this world.

This backpack from Amazon is very economically priced and just the right size at $18.99.

Please ship to or door drop:
911 Washington Ave 208

Can you help?!?
Hydrate the Homeless is making Reuben sandwiches with cole slaw, chips, and a pickle for Mary's Meals on Tuesday for 75+.
Our shopping list without the rye bread is $93.95, approx $30 for the bread. I'll post our shopping list in the first comment. We prefer to shop at restaurant depot for better pricing, and the bread will come from Walmart.
You can make a donation and we will do all the heavy lifting! We take Venmo, Cash App, and PayPal/CCs.

Mary's Meals had all the extras this Tuesdays from your generous donations. We made homemade guac 🥑 and salsa to compliment our burrito bar and fiesta rice. I think Mary would have approved!
