Outreach
Toiletries/Laundry Supplies/Socks Needed by Coast House in Half Moon Bay -
Coast House is the only coast side shelter and it is one the Outreach Committee started working with in 2022, providing meals (before the shooting.) There are 55 rooms in the Coast House shelter, and the temporary residents need everything from shampoo and conditioner to toothpaste and soap. There is a shared laundry room so they also need laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The HMB Program Manager for Life Moves specifically asked for socks, primarily for adult men and women though there is one middle school girl there too.

Seeking Hotel-sized Toiletries:
Are you on vacation or going on one soon? If you picked up any travel size shampoo, conditioner, soap or lotion during your last hotel stay, you can donate them for use by the Maple Street Shelter. Bring them to the box in the breezeway. And if you have a toothbrush or toothpaste your dentist gave you on your last visit that you have no use for, they could use that too. Maple Street Shelter is located in Redwood City and provides housing for 123 homeless adults each night. Donated items best used by families or children (diapers, children’s toothpaste, etc) will be delivered to Redwood Family Shelter in Redwood City which provides housing for 10 families each night. The Outreach Committee donated new shower shoes and rain ponchos to be used by homeless adults residing at Maple Street. The new Redwood City Navigation Center, the replacement for Maple Street Shelter will be opening in March 2023. The Center will house up to 270 adults, more than 2X the capacity of Maple Street Shelter.
