During the colder months, many local organizations are providing spaces and supplies to keep unhoused neighbors warm and safe from extreme weather, there are a few things you can do to help, too:

During a Severe Weather Response protocols activation, you can look at the information listed in the sections above and find organizations in your region that offer daytime or overnight shelter when protocols are not activated, you can view our Regional Services Database to find an organization near you.

• Check in with local organizations that are operating daytime drop-in centers and overnight shelter and ask if they need any donated supplies to keep their site running smoothly.
• Volunteer with an organization that provides warming or resources for unsheltered individuals in your neighborhood or city.
• Donate financially to an organization that serves your community.
• Help get the word out about resources by sharing this page, or the graphics in the “Shareable Graphics & Flyers” section above on social media.

During cold snaps and storms, you can also carry ponchos, hand warmers, wool or synthetic warm socks, and snacks with water to give to people who request help.
