Hope Totes
Spread Hope with a Simple Tote
One way our Street Outreach team can meet the immediate needs of our neighbor living on the streets is with a Hope Tote hygiene kit. We also use them as a way to establish trust and build relationships that can lead to helping get people off the streets.
What is a Hope Tote?
A Hope Tote is a bag full of travel-size hygiene items that our neighbors on the streets need the most. Every day, our Street Outreach team hands out dozens of “Hope Tote” hygiene kits!
Gather Supplies
For the following items, we recommend filling a gallon-sized Ziploc bag with new, travel-size items.
Host a Packing Party (or pack individually)
Packing Hope Totes is a great activity for all ages! Grab a group, divide the list, plan to meet, and have fun packing.
Drop Off Totes
Completed Totes Can be dropped off at our Donation Warehouse located at: 2515 N. 34th Dr, Phoenix, AZ 85009, Monday through Friday 11:00a-3:00p.
Street Team Delivers to Those in Need
Our Street Outreach team distributes Hope Totes directly to our neighbors living on the streets.
Why Hope Totes Matter
A Simple Bag Makes All the Difference
For people struggling with life-controlling issues, trusting others can be difficult. That’s why we keep showing up.
Our hurting neighbors need a reason to trust us. They need to see we are for them, not against them. And that can take time.
Hope Totes give us the opportunity to start conversations, begin relationships, and establish trust so that, in time, we can help people take the life-changing step to begin moving off the streets.
