Ways to Get Involved
Donate Your Resources

Make a direct contribution to one of our communities. Your donations allow us to continue our mission of ending homelessness. Consider making your gift a recurring donation to support the stability of our organization.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account that is set up for the sole purpose of supporting charities. Individuals can contribute cash, stocks, or other assets into the DAF and receive an immediate tax deduction. Those funds are invested for tax-free growth and the individual can recommend donations to charities of their choice over time.
Email development@streetsteam.org for more information on DAFs.

Did you know that many companies have corporate match programs that can double charitable donations made by their employees? Email development@streetsteam.org your company name to find out if your employer will match your donation to Downtown Streets Team and help double your impact!

Hosting a kit drive is a perfect activity for families, friends, schools, and offices. We distribute hygiene kits to Team Members and to others experiencing homelessness as part of our outreach efforts. Hygiene kits contain essentials like soap, deodorant, shampoo, tooth brushes, and feminine products.
We also collect warming kits that contain rain ponchos, warm socks, and blankets.
