The PATH Emergency Relief Fund is a resource made possible through the generosity of community donations. This dedicated fund enables PATH to respond swiftly to emergencies that impact our unhoused neighbors and participants.
In California, disasters like extreme drought, heavy rain, mudslides, cold weather snaps, and fires are becoming more frequent, putting unsheltered people at extreme risk. The Emergency Relief Fund provides critical assistance, including:
- Emergency shelter, evacuation support, and relocation assistance for individuals, families, and their pets.
- Essential supplies such as food, water, hygiene items, N95 masks, and other necessities during natural disasters or severe weather conditions.
- Flexible resources to address unforeseen emergencies that threaten the safety and stability of PATH participants.
Your gift enables PATH to provide crucial resources to those experiencing homelessness during emergencies. Thank you!
