OBSESSED 😍
At PHC, our Homeless Support Services team works every day to provide essential resources to people experiencing homelessness, including winter clothing, gloves, and boots.
You can support this work by donating gently used winter clothing and shoes: 1200 University Ave, Ste 110A, Des Moines

Every contribution helps ensure our neighbors stay safe, warm, and cared for throughout the winter months.
The harsh winter months can be especially challenging for individuals experiencing homelessness, making access to adequate clothing and footwear critical for their health and safety. At Primary Health Care, the Homeless Support Services team prioritizes providing these essentials to keep people warm and protected from the cold. Winter gloves and boots are not just accessories; they are vital in preventing frostbite and other cold-related injuries. Donating gently used items like winter coats, gloves, shoes, and boots can significantly alleviate the hardships faced by those without permanent shelter. Monetary donations also play a crucial role by enabling outreach workers to purchase necessary supplies and fund support programs tailored to meet immediate needs. For those interested in contributing, donations can be dropped off at 1200 University Ave, Ste 110A in Des Moines, or made online at phciowa.org/donate. Community involvement not only helps provide physical warmth but also shows those struggling that they are cared for and valued neighbors. The collective effort ensures everyone can endure winter months with dignity and hope. If you have winter gloves and boots you no longer need, consider donating them to PHC’s program—they rate these donations as a vital 10/10 in helping their efforts. Every contribution, big or small, creates a safer environment for our community members experiencing homelessness, bridging gaps in health, comfort, and compassion during the cold season.
