ABOUT US
Turning Interest Into Action
Dealing with the challenges of homelessness requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to look at all of the contributing factors. As with any walk of life, people and circumstances differ. A “one size fits all” approach has been failing and consequently options are needed. Blankets to the Streets emerged out of an effort to prevent cold weather-exposure related deaths in the homeless population, and to inspire and support the community through concrete action. After all actions do speak louder than words.
Established in 2014, we’re an organization driven by progressive ideas, street level involvement, and a strong foundation of volunteer support. Many of our best volunteers are current and former recipients of our products. Contact us to learn more and get involved.

ACTIVITIES
HOMELESS OUTREACH
With this initiative, our goal is to promote opportunities for those experiencing homelessness. The first step in that process is survival. Can you imagine finally getting that job interview, but having to get there on painful, frost bitten feet? Or being scared to stay at a shelter where you cannot social distance, during a pandemic? These are some of the situations facing the homeless humans that we meet.
The one size fits all approach to sheltering, the assumptions made about why people are homeless, have been failing us. More options are needed. So, the chance to stay warmer, experience less pain and illness, are the first steps toward the opportunity at a healthier life.
With less pain and access to the right resources, more people have the opportunity to change their circumstances. Learn more about our work by getting in touch with our team today.
