Your donation helps support San Diego’s growing unhoused population by providing life-saving sleeping bag coats, crafted with care by former homeless individuals who now work full-time, turning hardship into hope for others in need.
Our co-founders are fully committed to preventing and alleviating the suffering of homelessness and as such match all donations up to $1.5 million annually.
