Get involved

There is a way for everyone to help.

We would love to have you involved with Engage and Change. You can donate funds as an individual or as a group, donate items for the survival kits, or start your own fundraising initiative.

Donate funds

Give as an individual or as a group. For a donation of as little as $25, you can help provide a Winter Survival Kit, including a sleeping bag and backpack, for someone in need.

Donate new kit items

Kit items are always new, for hygiene and for dignity. Donate new items for the survival kits, or sponsor a team and come pack kits with us on event day.

Where to buy the items

New items, wholesale prices

Kit items have to be new. They do not have to be full retail. The Bargains Group sells the socks, hygiene supplies, and sleeping bags that go into our kits at wholesale, with no minimum order, so the same money buys more kits. The Bargains Group was founded by our founder, Jody Steinhauer, and has supplied kit items since the beginning.
