How YOU Can Help People Experiencing Homelessness
By working together as a community, we can help people experiencing homelessness receive vital resources to help them onto a path toward stable housing. Please consider donating your time, resources, and voice.
Volunteer
Volunteering can be extremely rewarding: helping others feels good. Consider donating your time with HOPE, the OUR Center, the Boulder Shelter, or other non-profits that working towards helping people transition out of homelessness and into stable housing.
Give
Giving money directly to a person experiencing homelessness does not address the root problem. Consider donating money or supplies to HOPE, the OUR Center, the Boulder Shelter or other non-profits working on homeless solutions.
Say Something
People experiencing homelessness are people. In some cases, their lives might have been very similar to yours before a financial crisis cost them their housing. Acknowledge their presence – even by just saying “hello.”
If you see someone in need, notify HOPE at 720-494-4673 so their street outreach team can provide help.
Share your perspective with policy makers. You can reach out to Longmont City Council members on-line, or meet with Council members for coffee.
