Homeless Lives Matter Berkeley

At HOMELESS LIVES MATTER BERKELEY – we have no agenda or affiliations other than to serve Berkeley’s homeless with dignity and respect. We are a grassroots community based group of like-minded neighbors and friends who want to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Unlike most other services for the homeless we do not expect them to come to us. We deliver dinner and supplies to whomever needs them by driving slowly around downtown and calling out to those huddled in doorways, on sidewalks and in parks. We even go up to those curled up for warmth in a sleeping bag or blankets. We tell them, “Stay here, we can bring it to you.”
We never offer, nor give cash – we do offer a smile and a cup of hot nutritious soup with whatever else we can gather. We try to keep the car and trunk well stocked with basic supplies to offer our sisters and brothers on the streets, such as blankets, warm clothes, coats and jackets, boots/shoes, socks and clean underwear.
