011 (August 15, 2021): Jennifer Livovich, Feet Forward

The following is a list of ways you can help unhoused people in our community. One way is to support Feet Forward which is a 501 c-3 nonprofit organization. They accept cash donations on their website. You can contact Feet Forward directly to coordinate other kinds of donations. Jen says that they always need good, new socks especially in the winter. They also need a van! They also need a food partner for their hot meal program for the first Tuesday of each month.

In the episode I asked Jen about giving cash to directly to homeless people. She said that a better option is to give out gift cards to local grocery stores and coffee shops. Another possibility is to give out bus passes – a day pass would be ideal but unfortunately requires activation and is time stamped. However, you can buy booklets of one way local passes at any service desk at most grocery stores in Boulder.

Finally, if you are concerned about someone who is experiencing homelessness and may be in a crisis situation, then you can call the Boulder Police Department and request a non-emergency welfare check.
