Regular and reliable access to free clothing and essential supplies for daily living has been more crucial now than ever before. Recognizing the dire need for these no-cost supplies, including outdoor survival gear, Rose Haven has increased its focus on those most vulnerable and marginalized.
Guests are able to access emergency supplies upon request at the Hospitality Desk. All requests are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis, and are dependent on the amount of supplies available. Supplies are available only to registered Rose Haven guests.
Supplies that are prioritized at this time include emergency clothing, daily bus tickets, hygiene kits, menstrual products, diapers (for all ages) and wipes, pet food, coats, backpacks, and outdoor gear such as tarps, tents and sleeping bags, as available.
