Reason Center is partnering with First Step Communities, an organization to help the homeless in Sacramento. They provide both supplies and emergency shelter for the homeless in Sacramento, the homeless in OUR community.
Last year was a huge success. We were able to provide First Step Communities with 72 backpacks stuffed with supplies. We’d like to be able to do something similar this year.
We’re asking the Reason Center community to drop off supplies from the list below at the Reason Center from 1:30pm to 3:30pm on November 11th. If you purchased an item to donate and would like a receipt, please bring the receipt for the item(s) purchased and we can write a donation receipt for you.
Gary Alexander and his family will be handling the packaging and delivery of the supplies to First Step Communities. Reason Center and First Step Communities would like to thank everyone in advance for helping.
