HOST A SUPPLY DRIVE

Sunrise Supply Drives are crucial to help meet the immediate needs of our unhoused friends by collecting items like clothing, hygiene supplies, and food. It is also one of the best ways to raise awareness about homelessness in our community. By hosting a Sunrise Supply Drive, your business, organization, school, church, or community group will make a direct impact on those we serve.
