❤️ Our Unsheltered Neighbors Need Us — And We Need YOU!
On December 13th, from 8 AM to 11 AM, Homeless Help Alliance will be at the Ocean Springs Walmart Supercenter (top of the parking lot behind the car wash) hosting a Cold Weather Supply Drive — and this event is absolutely crucial for the survival of many people in our local homeless community.
For far too many, winter isn’t just uncomfortable…
it’s dangerous.
Access to basic items like a warm coat or a dry place to sleep could mean the difference between life and tragedy.
While long-term solutions such as housing, rehab, and mental health services take months to secure, our unsheltered friends need help TODAY. That’s why our mission focuses on providing immediate, life-sustaining essentials — tents, sleeping bags, tarps, flashlights, warm clothing, hygiene supplies, and the basic tools needed just to make it through the night.
This December, as temperatures drop, we are reaching out with hope and urgency.
We cannot do this without our community.
❄️ Items Needed (New or Clean, Working Condition)
Tents
Sleeping Bags (cold-weather rated 30°F or below)
Blankets
Winter Coats (Men’s & Women’s)
Hats & Gloves
Hand/Body Warmers

Every single item donated directly impacts someone living outside in our community—someone’s son, daughter, friend, neighbor. Your kindness becomes their warmth.
❤️ Can’t Attend on 12/13? You Can Still Help!
You can still make a life-saving impact even if you can’t come in person.
