Give wisely to the unsheltered

Volunteer at a local charity or donate to agencies providing resources to the homeless. The City offers staff and resources to connect unsheltered individuals with assistance, including transportation to shelters, support agencies and willing family or friends. Donating directly to the unsheltered may contribute to the cycle of homelessness. Learn ways to help at www.cityofmesquite.com/Homeless.
