What We Do & Ways to Partner in Kindness

Project KIND walks alongside individuals and families experiencing homelessness and crisis, providing compassionate advocacy, immediate support, and practical resources. Whether we're helping someone remain safely housed, arranging an emergency hotel stay, or helping turn an empty apartment into a home, we work to fill the gaps that can leave people without anywhere to turn.

Filling the gaps. Finding the kind. Fueled by faith. Funded by kindness.

A place to share what we have

The Kindness Closet

The Kindness Closet is a place where people can share what they have and help their neighbors find what they need. This work is made possible by our Partners in Kindness, who generously share their time, talents, and treasures.

Ways to help

Ways your support could make a difference

Thank you for asking about needs you might be able to help fund. Here are some of the ways your support could make a difference:

Keeping the Kindness Closet doors open

Funding for rent, utilities, and operating expenses to keep this community resource available to our neighbors.

Ask about this need

Everyday essentials and street outreach

Toiletries, blankets, food, clothing, and household items to share through the Closet and directly with people living outside, in cars, or wherever they can find shelter.

Ask about this need

Emergency housing

Funding for hotel stays that provide immediate safety while we work toward longer-term solutions.

Ask about this need

A path to permanent housing

Assistance with realtor fees, first month's rent, and security deposits that can stand between someone and an available home.

Ask about this need

Beyond the Keys

Furniture, bedding, and household essentials to turn an empty apartment into a home, along with volunteer mentors, or "Kind Companions," who offer encouragement, connection, and ongoing support as people settle in and build stability.

Ask about this need

Homelessness prevention

Assistance with overdue rent and utility bills to help individuals and families remain safely housed.

Ask about this need

Helping us grow

A vehicle for outreach, transporting donations, and helping with move-ins, along with funding for staff salaries so we can offer consistent support and reach more people.

Ask about this need

Advocacy, education, and family well-being

Support for educational programs we can offer to the community on nutrition, health, financial well-being, and everyday life skills — including being kind not only to others, but also to ourselves. These programs would create opportunities to learn, connect, and support one another. We also work to raise awareness about homelessness and the barriers our neighbors face.

Ask about this need

Together, we continue and expand this work.

Together, we can continue and expand this work while raising awareness, educating our community, and creating opportunities to come together, share what we have, and fill the gaps — walking alongside our neighbors from homelessness to housed, and everything in between and beyond.
