What Does the CVRM Street Outreach Team Provide?

Coachella Valley Street Outreach: Delivering Essentials to Our Homeless Community

Street Outreach brings our community gifts to the streets, where we deliver vital provisions to those in need. The Coachella Valley Rescue Mission Street Outreach team travels throughout the Coachella Valley and into surrounding areas, including Thermal and Mecca. We push through the boundaries and barriers that may exist when an individual or family in need cannot come to us. Our team offers housing and crisis assessments, referrals to our partner service providers, and daily essentials like food, water, socks, and hygiene products to the individuals and families in our community who need the grace that comes with understanding and compassion.

What Is Available from the Street Outreach Team?

Our street outreach team works diligently to help unhoused community members find the security of affordable housing, critical rehabilitation programs, and the meals and shelter they desperately need. Along with the longer-term help we can offer, we also help with:
  • Food, snacks, water, and non-perishable items
  • Hygiene items and mobile showers
  • Clothing, including socks and shoes
  • Backpacks and sleeping bags
  • Case management services
  • Transportation to the CVRM facilities and bus passes
  • Document assistance and free or low-cost ID Forms
  • Access to medical care and testing

Donations Help Our Street Outreach Program in the Coachella Valley

We accept donations to support this program through our online portal, but also through in-person donations of essentials. No donation is too big or too small, and every donation counts. One way you can help us is to donate Grace to Go Bags.

What Are Grace to Go Bags?

These are small, ready-to-go care packages that our outreach team delivers daily to individuals living on the streets. These typically include bottled water, granola bars, fruit cups, pull-tab canned goods, or other non-perishable food items. Build your own Grace to Go Bags at home, at the office, or with your organization, and bring them to the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission. Your contributions help us serve more people every day during outreach missions.
