Winter Item Collection

The Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) for the City of Thornton needs items for adult men and women, and we are asking for your help. The primary need is for men’s clothing because their clients are mostly male, with fewer adult women. The items collected will be handed out to people the team contacts on the streets, as well as those who come to the HOT building seeking assistance. The goal with these items is to prevent frostbite and hypothermia in people who are unhoused and are on the streets.

Please drop off items at the North Metro Church office doors (9:30a–3:30p, M–Th) or on Sundays at the main entrance.
