How can I know if the money I give you is going towards the cause?

We hope you can trust us, but we respect every decision. We will photograph the bags before they go out, and we will share our experience with those who contributed. We do not plan on recording the homeless or the gifting process out of respect.
How much should I contribute?

We would be happy to accept a PayPal deposit of any size. We made an effort to include many lower cost options! We are also happy to distribute used goods so long as they are shipped to us asap.
I want to contribute, but I don't like anything you picked out."

We are open to suggestions and happy to accommodate. Please take time constraints into consideration! We plan on going out Dec 28th.
How did you decide what to include in your list?

Many of our selections were informed by this resource: http://www.portlandrescuemission.org/get-involved/learn/pack-a-care-kit/
What if you cannot purchase the item I select?

If for some reason we are unable to purchase what you selected, we will ask if you woul dlike for us to put your money towards another purchase or if you would like a "refund."
