Outreach

HomeAid recognizes how challenging it can be for families to provide for their most basic needs. HomeAid Northern California provides dignity and restores hope through the HomeAid Essentials community outreach program.  The Essentials program is HomeAid’s community-wide drive to collect “essential” items to benefit families and individuals experiencing homelessness.

• Essentials for Young Lives – We collect diapers, wipes and formula to be distributed to family shelters across the state. The drive is held annually from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day.
• Essentials CareKits – We collect travel-size toiletry items including soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste and deodorant.  These items are then assembled into CareKits and distributed to emergency shelters and outreach teams during the month of November for Homelessness Awareness Month.
