    Donate, Make, and Deliver Hygiene Kits for the Homeless - Ongoing Opportunity

    Support Agate program participants. That's people facing or experiencing homelessness. Help them by providing them with essential personal care items they need and struggle to afford.

    Gather your friends, family, neighbors, book club, faith community, or other group to make a big gesture with a small project!

    Volunteers purchase materials, assemble kits, and drop them off at our main office by appointment.
