Dearest Community,

Ground Score Association staff are volunteering this entire weekend to provide day shelter to members of our community living outdoors. By 11am today, they had served 55 people. We were unable to get funding to support these lifesaving efforts this weekend, so any donation you can provide to support supplies (warm drinks, blankets, socks, etc) is immensely helpful!

Thank you!

Come celebrate Ground Score's new website, our new fiscal sponsorship relationship with Trash for Peace, our G.L.I.T.T.E.R. team that collects over a million pounds of trash a year, The People's Depot that serves a person a minute, and our Reuse and Repair team that is growing a circular economy.
