About
Summer 2024 update: we're proud to say this has become a well-used resource as word spreads about the community supplies! We are struggling a little to keep up with demand for tents and sleeping bags in particular, and we want to step up our provision of summer-specific supplies like suncream, water bottles and cool clothes. Please help if you can!
______________________________________________
As we move into winter, ORCA will be working with our friends The Lockon and Cambridge Community Kitchen to make sure we have warm winter supplies ready for unhoused people in our community. We're doing this because we often find that people come to these groups for warm clothes and supplies, and we want to be more organised and ready to help this year.
We’re expecting to focus on providing waterproof coats, warm blankets, hygiene products, snacks and bags to keep things dry. We would love help in the form of:
- donations of money so we can buy nice new bags, foil blankets etc
- donations of warm clean (ideally new) hats, socks etc (home-crafted welcome!)
- donations of time to organise stuff and possibly pack things into bags
- thoughts and suggestions from anyone with experience
