This year, Chicas Latinas de Sacramento Members thought it would be a wonderful idea to supply our homeless community with Holiday Cards and postage ~ so they can reach out to friends and family members.

RVSP & Connect on FB: Give to the Homeless at Cesar Chavez Park – Holiday Edition!

As temperatures begin to dip, we will be collecting donations for warm wearable clothing for men, women and children. We especially encourage men to clean out your closets as there are more men on the street than women. We’re also seeking socks and toiletries, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.

According to the Sacramento Housing & Redevelopment Agency, the homeless population in Sacramento has reached over 2,500 as of 2013 – A statistic that drives Chicas Latinas more than ever to continue giving back.

Donations will be accepted the morning of November 30th (you will see us set up with folding tables). Fill out the form to contact and/or arrange to donate prior: http://bit.ly/ChicasFeedSacHomeless

* Chicas Latinas members will also be meeting on Nov. 26th at Capsity to prepare Thanksgiving meals to be distributed by CAFFE Members on Thanksgiving day!

Chicas Latinas de Sacramento will be helping feed & clothe Sacramento’s homeless this Sunday with community group, CAFFE — and there is a huge need for SOCKS!

Community “Call for Socks!” If you’re able to help, sock donations can be dropped off at Salon 701 Salon & Spa (w/ Armando). OR bring them to Cesar Chavez Plaza on Sunday morning! (8:30am near the park’s cafe).

Did you know, once a person living on the streets puts on a pair of socks – they often don’t take them off again. Taking care of one’s feet are a hard and important task for our homeless community members. Socks are always in high demand and greatly valued. Wet, dry, day, night, holes, dirty, and falling apart… can you provide someone with a new pair?

Huge thank you to everyone who helped make Chicas Latinas de Sacramento‘s Holiday Care Package for the Homeless donation drive and distribution a great success!!! We joined Sacramento community organization C.A.F.F.E. early Christmas morning and helped feed, clothe, and give Chicas’ Holiday Care Packages to the homeless – with the help of our friends, we were able to serve nearly 300 homeless this holiday season.

Special thank you to Sol Collective for donating space for our wrapping days and for being a drop-off location for care package donations, and thank you to Casa de Español who donated and delivered 50 completed Holiday Care Packages to us!
