Our Street Outreach works with community members living on the streets and other places that tend to be transitional within the San Luis Valley. We offer distribution days at St. Benedict’s Encampment and other locations around the Valley, during which we ensure unsheltered individuals receive clothing, food, water, camping gear, propane, and other items needed for tougher living situations. We also offer case management to help connect unsheltered individuals to various resources and provide an advocating voice.
Help: You can call or text our warmline, which is monitored by staff daily. We are most responsive M-F during business hours and will return your call/text as soon as possible. Warmline: 719-588-4566
Supplies: We always have:
-High protein food
-Canned food (beans, soup, tuna, chicken)

It depends on donations so we can’t guarantee availability, but we often have*:
-Hygiene supplies (shampoo, soap, razors, toothpaste)
-Limited bike supplies (sealant and bike tubes)
