Help the homeless in my local tent city

My mother is putting together a drive to help people in the local tent city that houses people who are waiting for a spot in rehab or stable housing. If you have any of these items you’re willing to donate please reach out to me. Thanks! As an option, if you would like to donate to cover shipping costs for anyone that would donate but can’t afford to 100% could be used for that...
(if you like the idea please comment to keep the thread on top)

For those who are interested in $$$ donati

You can Venmo her directly @jody-Murphy-15 and just tag it “west river camp”.

If you would like her contact information please DM me.

I’ve received $275 in donations so far, thanks so much everyone! 

I’m actually surprised this thread didn’t get action bump. 

This is the most real thread on mp.

PM’ed for a good cause. Thanks for putting this out there Lyle.

Thanks Don! 

Lyle, where can I send you a couple bucks?

You can Venmo her directly @jody-Murphy-15 and just tag it “west river camp”. This camp is technically illegal (even though known about by officials) and is a very impromptu organized effort on her part. I’m sure there will be something official to come out of this but in the meantime the first donations will be delivered Dec 12, there’s been a large outpouring of support for her and will likely result in the ability to make multiple donations. If you would like her personal information for suggestions or help in other ways than $$$ you could offer please dm me and I will put you in touch. THANKS EVERYONE, she’s blown away by the support she’s receiving and is driving her to do more than she thought possible. 

Done. Please tell her thank you for spending her time helping strangers.

Happy Holidays.

Shameless bump

There is an "official" page now you could donate at if you like and keep up to date with developments.

Thanks Zay, this ^

There was a rain delay yesterday, the donations are being handed out today. Thanks again to everyone who donated, photos to come...

Over $700 of gear and food was distributed yesterday, look to the Facebook page for any new photos or updates, thanks so much for those who donated and thank you to those in the future who take it upon themselves to do this in their own community. Much love everyone, it takes crumbs to make a cake :) 

That's great to see Lyle.

It's a reminder of how many things I take for granted in my life.
