OUTREACH (IMMEDIATE AID)We are a boots on the ground organization that works alongside out clients, volunteers and partners to provide life-saving supplies, compassion and support to our unhoused communities. Map of outreach and distributions included in our Impact Report. COLLECTING SURPLUS SUPPLIESWe collect and organize high quality essential supplies from sponsors, businesses, organizations and individuals, both locally and nationally. We have created a seasonal outreach and collection event in partnership with Teton County Library called Love Your Neighbor. This gives people a central location to drop off the specific supply donations we are accepting and also an opportunity to "shop" at our free store for the things they need. It also allows the givers and the receivers to get to know one another and learn more about our work. The surplus items we collect are redistributed locally, regionally and nationally. See impact report for details. PARTNERSHIPS & COLLABORATIONSWe develop partnerships with like minded organizations and coordinate with the communities we serve to fill the gaps in accessing vital supplies and services. This allows us to help unhoused, displaced and housing insecure individuals in the most holistic and impactful way. See our list of partnerships in our Impact Report.CLIENT SERVICESWe provide funding for the specific needs of an individual client or family from emergency shelter, medical care, transportation and specific supplies or food.STLC CARE KITSThroughout the year we purchase, assemble and distribute 4 types of helpful care kits for the individuals we serve (kids kits, health and hygiene kits, shower kits and care packs). These are assembled at every one of our advocacy and fundraising events and serve as an instructive tool to get people involved in lending a hand and learning about our clients needs. They are also available for our volunteers to take home and assemble as a family activity. The majority of our kits are made by kids, families and youth, community or faith based groups. These kits are distributed at the Teton County Library and the Parks and Recreation Department as well as to our local and national partners and our own outreach events. Supplies distributed and people served:Due to their difficult circumstances it is difficult to give an exact number of people served. However we can get a good idea of the minimum amount of people we've served from the number of items we've collected, purchased and delivered throughout the U.S.From December of 2014 to the end of 2023 we have served well over 25,000 people with $2,888,000 in essential supplies, services and advocacy in over 40 cities and communities across the United States. We have not completed our outreach for 2024 yet but it has been another big year with an expansion of services in our own community as well as some additional locations.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$464.4K
