Meeting Someone Where They Are<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Imagine you are homeless. You are tired and ache from several rough nights of little-to-no sleep. Your stomach rumbles with the deep familiar pains of hunger and thirst, you can literally feel your health deteriorating. You haven\u2019t had a warm shower or a change of clothes in a long time. With holes in your shoes, you feel hopeless and embarrassed.<\/p>\n

Now imagine a big red CareVan pulling up nearby. Friendly staff offer you a meal, a hot cup of coffee, and a small kit with dental care items, soap, deodorant, and shampoo to freshen up with. Together, you fill out paperwork for a free California State ID, which you need in order to register for shelter, housing, or apply for a job. You are given a clean pair of underwear and socks and sign up for your first shower in weeks from Lava Mae. Staff register you with Studio Dental for a dental cleaning, and you even get a new pair of glasses. Suddenly, things are looking a whole lot brighter.<\/p>\n

A Day of Dignity<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

On May 23rd, PHC and Lave Mae<\/a> hosted A Day of Dignity to celebrate the unveiling of the new PHC CareVan: a mobile services unit loaded with supplies for a pop-up service event. Together with our community and a few friends\u2026 Replate<\/a>, HandUp<\/a>, Studio Dental<\/a>, and The Street Store<\/a>, we provided showers, meals, clothing, hygiene supplies, dental care, and haircuts that brightened the day for hundreds of San Franciscans in need.<\/p>\n
