Other ways to partner with us!
Help by Donating Gift Cards
We need gift cards for the homeless, $5.00-$10.00 cards are perfect, we have people homeless in the streets and in their cars, DSS food stamps do not pay for hot meals, so cards from the big chain stores are perfect. Speedway, 7-11, McDonald's, Burger king, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Stop and Shop, Starbucks, to new a few.
Donate Gas Cards to Help Homeless Individuals and Their Pets
Many of our homeless neighbors are living in their cars with their pets. Gas cards from any major franchise crucial in helping them stay warm, safe and mobile and access essential resources. Your support can make a real difference for both them and their furry companions.
Thank you for your generosity!

Emergency Poncho and Mylar Blanket Liner
Help Us Provide Emergency Ponchos to Those in Need
Let’s face it—bad weather can quickly turn a tough situation into a dangerous one. Tents can collapse, blankets get soaked, and vehicles break down. That’s why we’re distributing high-quality emergency ponchos designed with survival in mind.
These ponchos combine space blanket and bivy bag technology, making them waterproof and wind-resistant—perfect for homeless individuals, campers, or anyone facing extreme weather emergencies.
They’re compact and lightweight, and we encourage every recipient to keep one in their pocket, not just in a backpack or tent. In a crisis, seconds matter. These ponchos can be used for emergency shelter, added warmth, or even as a sleeping solution when nothing else is available.
Your donation helps us get these critical ponchos into the hands of people who need them most.
“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty, it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love as there is a hunger for God.”

Collection Cannister for The Homeless Veterans
Do You Have A Business in Central Suffolk?
Support Homeless and At-Risk Veterans in Nassau and Suffolk Counties
If you own or manage a business, school, or community center in Central Suffolk County, please consider placing a donation canister at your location. Your small act of kindness can make a life-saving difference.
Every day, 22 combat veterans die by suicide—some of them were homeless. Our organization is committed to supporting homeless and at-risk veterans from the moment they reach out until they are connected with long-term support services. But the first two weeks are critical—and that’s where we need your help.
Why are donation canisters so important?
When a homeless veteran contacts us, we often don’t have the immediate funds to provide safe shelter like a hotel room. The canisters help us bridge that gap—covering urgent needs like food and shelter during the time it takes to connect them with veteran support organizations.
Please help us give veterans the dignity, support, and second chance they deserve.
Place a canister. Save a life.
