Stanislaus County is a community that thrives on the generosity and support of its residents. At 211 Stanislaus Info Hub, we're committed to connecting those in need with vital resources, and we're excited to share how you can make a significant impact in our community.

Addressing Urgent Needs

Our community faces various challenges throughout the year, from scorching summers to chilly winters. Here's how your donations can help:

1. Emergency Water and Heat Safety: During extreme heat, access to water is crucial. Your donations of bottled water help us set up distribution points, potentially saving lives. Learn more about our heat safety initiatives.

2. Winter Weather Essentials: As temperatures drop, warm clothes, hand warmers, and rain ponchos become lifelines for those experiencing homelessness. Consider organizing or participating in donation drives for these items.

3. Hygiene Products: Everyone deserves access to basic hygiene. Help us create "hygiene kits" with essentials like soap, toothpaste, and deodorant. These kits are distributed through local shelters and outreach programs.

4. Shelf-Stable Food: For our homeless population, non-perishable food items are vital. Donate granola bars, canned goods with pull-tabs, and fruit cups to provide nourishment without the need for cooking.
