For many of us, protection from the elements seem basic. But for a homeless person who is outside all day long on some warm, sunny day, sunscreen is a luxury. For pocket money, you can give the gift of protection from the sun's harmful rays to three people.

If you’re out on the streets and have just one pair of shoes, you’ll wear them out in a few months. Do you buy new shoes—or spend the money on food? Get a homeless person back on his/her feet, in every way possible.

As you might imagine, our homeless neighbors do not have their own vehicles. In order to keep an appointment to see their children's physician for a sick visit or to meet with a potential employer for a job opportunity, they rely entirely on public transportation to get them there. To help these folks get to these important places, you can give bus passes to ten people.

Each month, Crossroads spends hundreds of dollars to run the water, stock the soap and shampoo, and buy and launder the towels, sheets and blankets in our First Step Emergency Shelter. Help us provide a clean, comfortable haven for a desperate family.

More than half of Rhode Island's homeless people dropped out of high school, and the best way to break the cycle is through education an training. Crossroads' GED program has been a successful stepping stone to better jobs and event college degrees. Help homeless adults take the first step towards self-sufficiency.

Homeless people are beyond hungry; they’re also malnourished and unhealthy. Food isn’t the complete solution; healthy, nutritionally balanced meals are. Treat two families to good breakfasts and dinners for an entire month, and give the gifts of food and health.
