Advocates For Homeless & Those In Need Inc

Code blue winter shelter - this mission provides transportation to and from the winter shelter; a cot, bedding; thermal tops & bottoms; sweatpants & sweatshirts; gloves; socks; hats; a coat; boots and a nutritious meal for the night when weather conditions are such that they are dangerous to unsheltered individuals. For code blue season (dec. 2023 - march 2024) ahtn was open 50 nights; served 153 unduplicated individuals and 1791 "heads in beds" which are duplicated guests.

Transportation - one major mission is our wheels to meals. Ahtn partners with 35 houses of worship as part of our free shared meals program. Ahtn volunteers use our vehicles to pick-up our homeless friends and bring them houses of worship so the homeless and those in need can enjoy a nutritious meal with others in the community every night of the month. During the pandemic, all of the houses of worship shut their doors but our administrative consultant worked with all of the houses of worship to see if they would make "to go" meals. They all agreed. We are running a hybrid program now. There are 21 houses of worship that offer a sit-down community meal so our volunteers transport our friends to and from the meal. The rest of the month, ahtn volunteers pick up 50 "to go" meals and deliver them out to our homeless friends at our various bus stops. They are able to get a meal every night of the year.
