Homeless support during covid-19
Helping Unhoused People in the Community Survive a Pandemic
Back in March 2020, Humanitarian Action Network partnered with Sacramento Steps Forward, and with the small grant they provided combined with your donations, we immediately began providing tents, camp toilets, personal sanitation supplies, water and non-perishable food, first-aid supplies, and more to people experiencing homelessness at an encampment of 30 people in south Sacramento. The project lasted for six weeks, and the goal was to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 by providing a weekly drop-off of supplies to each person's tent, allowing individuals to self-isolate in order to protect themselves and those around them.
The project is now complete but we continue to provide masks, hand sanitizer, food, water, first-aid and personal hygiene supplies, and more to people in need throughout Sacramento. Please click here to learn how you can help.
