With clean clothes and a hot meal, you can start a new life!

As the weather gets cooler, it's more important than ever to provide hot showers, clean warm clothes and hot nutritious meals to people who are struggling to survive on the streets. It is often your generosity in giving these small, affordable gifts that open the door to a someone who wants to get off the streets, find a good job, and start living an independent life.

Every day of the year, it costs the Renewal Center $174.13 to provide frontline services to homeless people -- like hot meals, showers and clean clothes. That means every $2.24 of your gift will provide these life-changing essentials to a man or woman who is desperate just to put one foot forward, and off the streets.
