Mobile Sleeping Kit for Homeless

Help people experiencing homelessness by donating a mobile sleeping kit. Together we can offer items to improve people’s dignity, sleep, warmth, comfort, and safety. It’s important for people without a roof over their heads to have portable bedding that can stay dry. Mobile sleeping kits for the homeless are a backpack or duffle bag containing a small blanket (ideally waterproof) and a plastic tarp. The kits can help someone get through the night without a solid roof over their head. We ask that you please only donate gently used or new clean items.

Mobile Sleeping Kit for Homeless

Care Kits

People experiencing homelessness live without the basic human comforts of warmth, health, safety, and cleanliness. Consider packing a care kit in addition to a mobile sleeping kit. Care kits contain some of the less-obvious things that many homeless people report as essential needs.

Things like clean socks, a rain poncho, a hand warmer or gloves, bath wipes, and snacks offer comfort to someone living outdoors in difficult conditions. When you give care kits, you are showing kindness and compassion for a fellow human being going through difficult times and enduring cruel living conditions.

Blanchet House volunteers offer the care kits you make to Blanchet House’s meal guests daily. If you would like to make care kits we ask that you sign up below. It’s important that we know ahead of time how many kits you plan to bring. Choose a date from the calendar.

Thank you so much for helping us alleviate suffering.
