Street Outreach
We go out across Anchorage with food, water, warm gear, socks, and hygiene supplies, and we hand them to people where they are. Every contact is a chance to build the relationship that makes the next step possible.
What We Do
We go out across Anchorage with food, water, warm gear, socks, and hygiene supplies, and we hand them to people where they are. We also carry naloxone from Project HOPE. We are out on the third Saturday of every month, all year.
Current work
Overdose Prevention
We distribute naloxone from Project HOPE, and we offer training every few months so that the people most likely to witness an overdose are the people carrying what reverses it.
What's in a Survival Kit
Every kit is the same. It is packed with hygiene supplies, basic medicine, first aid, an emergency sleeping bag, water, and a lunch.

Planned work
These are future efforts. They are not programs we run today.
Planned
Native Foods on the Street
In development. We are building a program to bring traditional foods directly to Alaska Native neighbors living outside. Salmon, dried fish, berries, and seal oil are not a menu upgrade, they are a piece of home returned. If you can help us source or fund it, we want to hear from you.
Planned
Hygiene Infrastructure Hub
This is a long-term capital goal, not something we operate now. Anchorage has almost no first tier sanitation access for unsheltered people. A person cannot hold a job interview, keep a medical appointment, or feel human without a shower and clean clothes. The goal is a permanent shower and laundry facility open on the same zero barrier terms as everything else we do. If you fund infrastructure, we would like to talk to you.
When we go out
We are out on the third Saturday of every month, all year, in every kind of weather. All times are Anchorage, Alaska time.
