Livermore Homeless Refuge

Supplies and Volunteers Always Needed

As the weather begins to warm, we continue to support the homeless through the shower facilities and soup kitchens of Livermore.


Our current need is for summer clothing, underwear, personal hygiene products and snacks.  Scroll down for a list.


Please call Donna and Bob at 443-7389 or cell 895-4167 for information about volunteering or to have them pick up supplies.

The Livermore Homeless Refuge opens their doors November to April to provide a warm place to sleep for the approximately 80 homeless men and women of Livermore.  When the weather forecast is for rain or temperatures below 40 degrees, the Refuge is open all night to literally prevent deaths by exposure.  The Refuge is not a single facility, but rather a cooperative effort between the faith-based groups and people of good will of Livermore; the Refuge spends two weeks at a time at different churches throughout the winter months.  Expenses are very low.  They need our time and supplies more than anything.  During the summer, the volunteers serve at the shower facilities around Livermore where they continue to get much needed clothing and supplies to our homeless brothers and sisters.

Please call Donna and Bob at 443-7389 or cell 895-4167.

You can help in many different ways!  Many opportunities to fit your time and talents!
We need many helping hands for setup, cleanup, transporting supplies, as well as staffing the evening, night and morning shifts.  Any time that you have to give is deeply appreciated!  Want to know more?  Please call Donna and Bob at 443-7389 or cell 895-4167.
