For those that would like to help the homeless to get through the winter, here is a way that appears to be working quite well for now. A “Homeless Firewood Brigade” has been set up to deliver firewood, water, toilet paper and toiletries, warm clothing etc., on a late afternoon basis. A list has been set up and volunteers are signing up to go down to Santa Clara Street, between F and E Streets (close to Poverello House) to make deliveries. Another way would be to have your name added to the email list and when you see items requested that you can donate, bring them to our Center at 1584 N. Van Ness (SE corner Van Ness and McKinley). Always needed is toilet paper and water (large bottles better) and toiletries like toothpaste and toothbrushes , soap, can always be donated and brought to the Center.
