**Street Life Ministries** is dedicated to sharing God’s love by providing life-giving resources and Christ-centered gatherings to the homeless in the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula. One of our critical programs, the Clothing Closet, urgently needs your support. We are raising funds for three essential items that our homeless community members often require: **clothing, backpacks, and underwear**.

**Why This Fundraiser Matters**

Homeless individuals face challenging conditions that lead to rapid wear and tear of their clothing and gear. Regular access to fresh clothing, durable backpacks, and clean underwear is vital for their dignity, health, and well-being. However, these items are always in high demand and need constant replenishment.

**Our Goal: $7500**

To meet the needs of our community, we aim to raise **$7500** over the next two weeks. With these funds, Street Life Ministries can make bulk purchases of these essential items at a discounted rate, ensuring we maximize the impact of every dollar you donate.

**How You Can Help**

We invite you to give generously to this crucial cause. Your donation will go directly towards purchasing:

- **Clothing:** Providing warmth and protection from the elements.

- **Backpacks:** Offering a secure and convenient way for individuals to carry their belongings.

- **Underwear:** Ensuring basic hygiene and comfort.

**Donate Now**

Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of the homeless and needy in our community. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal and helps provide these essential items to those who need them most.

Please join us in this mission of compassion and care. Together, we can ensure that everyone in our community has the basic necessities they deserve.

**Donate Today and Make a Difference!**

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to serving the homeless and needy through Street Life Ministries.

Sharing God’s love with people living on the streets of the mid-peninsula 💛 

Sharing God's love with people living on the streets of the mid-peninsula 💛

We are a community-based, non-profit organization that serves the homeless and at-risk populations of the Mid-Peninsula. We establish environments and build relationships where community volunteers can provide food and clothing, as well as referrals for shelter, addiction recovery, and other personal support.

_____

Street Life Ministries (or SLM) began in 2001 at the downtown Menlo Park train station. Today, due to the help of many people, it now serves over 35,000 meals a year, five nights a week, in Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Redwood City. For 20 years SLM gatherings have built a reputation as the one consistent place the homeless can count on. Whether it is a holiday, a cloudy or rainy day, SLM never varies from the set schedule, giving the homeless a stable option throughout the year.

_____

SLM is an established 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a board of directors, and is very different from many “feeding ministries.” It serves a unique role in the way it cares for the homeless and the hungry in San Mateo/Santa Clara Counties. Hot, home cooked meals served in outdoor venues are less threatening for our homeless neighbors, fostering a safe environment for relational connections to develop with the SLM leaders and volunteers. These connections build trust for guiding homeless friends toward healthier decisions, medical assistance, detox, rehab, housing, mentorship and counseling. In addition to food and encouragement, SLM provides clothing, toiletry kits, sleeping bags, medical supplies, temporary shelter, recovery services and job assistance to those in need. 

SLM is also unique because it places its staff and its services “in the streets”, and “in the camps”, where the homeless live. It reaches more homeless people directly in those street locations than traditional professional service agencies. Additionally, no other homeless non-profit in the area provides local residents with the large number (over 6000 hours per year, estimated) of volunteer hours of opportunity to meet directly and be served on a face to face basis as we do. Homeless folks need love, care, trustworthy friends, and reliable, regular support to improve and/or recover. SLM is “in the trenches and on the street” every day, helping our homeless neighbors. SLM’s outreach can be accessed at all hours of the day and night. 

Street Life is working on launching a 12 month all inclusive rehab program, the Homeless to Healthy program. Check our website for more details!
