🥫⛺ Help with Distribution at the Encampment in Alamosa:
Every Mon/Wed/Fri Street Outreach makes regular visits to St. Ben’s encampment in Alamosa to distribute food, water, clothing, and other essential survival supplies. We would love to have you join us…it’s always helpful to have another set of hands! To get involved, please contact [email protected] and indicate that you would like to volunteer at the encampment with Street Outreach.

🛻 🤝 Outreach to other SLV Towns:
Street Outreach also connects with unhoused folks in Monte, Ft. Garland, and Blanca on Tuesday and Thursdays. To get involved, please contact [email protected] and indicate that you would like to partner with Street Outreach’s initiatives in these outlying towns.

🥾🧥Donate Supplies:
Finally, if you have any gently-used blankets, coats, or sturdy shoes, you can drop them off at Street Outreach M-F from 9am-3pm (909 State Ave). We will make sure donations get to the folks that need them the most!

📰 Update! City Council unanimously voted to keep St. Benedict’s encampment open! To read more, go to www.alamosacitizen.com/st-benedict-to-stay-open/
