Survival Supply Distribution

Originally launched as the Backpack Distribution, our Survival Supply Distribution is a bi-annual event that unites community members to collect and distribute thousands of essential supplies, such as hygiene items, sleeping bags, flashlights, and pet supplies, to people experiencing homelessness during the summer and winter months.

Our events are often held in downtown San Diego where attendees can freely select items they need and receive personalized support from our staff and service provider partners.

Upcoming Event

Our Winter Survival Supply Distribution will be held on December 10, 2023 from 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM (or until supplies last) on the corner of Commercial St. and National Ave. in East Village. With the goal of distributing 500 Dignity Packs (backpacks filled with hygiene items and winter supplies), you can support San Diegans living unsheltered by donating essential items or sponsoring a Dignity Pack below.
