Outdoor Gear For the Homeless

Author: thegreenhiker | Category: Colorado Trails, Community, Outdoor Gear

Since May, Homeless Gear founder Ken John has collected outdoor gear and then distributed it to the homeless throughout Colorado.

If you live in Colorado, Ken needs volunteers.

Any service organization can replicate the Homeless Gear model. It offers an immediate, hands-on way to help others in your community.

And let us know if you are starting a similar program. We’ll highlight your efforts here.

The mission of Homeless Gear is a simple one. Collect unwanted outdoor gear (packs, sleeping bags, etc) and re-distribute these items to the homeless. Homeless Gear intends to find a home for all unwanted outdoor gear and make the outdoors a little more like home for those without permanent shelter.
