As winter approaches and temperatures begin to drop, individuals experiencing homelessness may be in greater need of warm clothing and essential items.
The City of Fremont is asking the community to spread warmth this winter season and donate items for our unhoused neighbors. The items will be distributed through City programs and services, such as CleanStart and the Safe Parking Program.
A Winter Needs List is available for those who would like to donate items. The items most needed are the following:
- undergarments
- t-shirts
- sweatpants
- sweaters
- jackets/coats
- sleeping bags
- tents
Please note that all donated items must be new with original tags and packaging. All clothing items should be in adult sizes from small to XXXL.
To donate items, please contact Noelle Tolentino in the City’s Human Services Department at 510-574-2088 or by email. Noelle can help schedule a drop-off, coordinate shipping, and answer any questions you may have.
Every donation, no matter how small, can help ensure that our neighbors have the essential items they need to stay warm and safe this winter.
If you have already donated items or plan to do so, thank you for your support and for giving back!
