Access to clean clothing and basic hygiene products is essential, especially for individuals experiencing homelessness or financial hardship. Through the generosity of our community, we receive donations of gently used clothing, shoes, and outerwear, along with essential hygiene items.

Reliable transportation can be a major barrier for individuals without access to a vehicle, especially when trying to get to work, appointments, or local resources. Through our Second Wind Bicycles program, donated bicycles are restored and refurbished, then placed into the hands of those who need them most. By providing a dependable way to travel to jobs and local businesses, this program helps create greater independence, stability, and opportunity for individuals working to move forward.
