By donating you can help Cardad eliminate barriers to homelessness by helping clients get their documentation for housing services in Southern Nevada.

ADULT DIAPERS/FEMALE HYGIENE PRODUCTS

Caridad clients have zero to meager income.  Those that need basics such as tampons or adult diapers cannot afford to purchase them, and because they do not have access to washing machines they may have accidents and soil their clothing.  Humiliated and filthy clients will not enter agencies for appointments or are kicked out due to their odor. Your donations cash or in kind new hygiene products help us humanize and restore dignity to Caridad clients.

SUNBLOCK/CHAP STICK

The brutal desert sun in Nevada can cause sever sunburn and blistering for Caridad clients. We ask that you DO NOT ship these supplies but rather reply back to your donations receipt email with the word sunblock on the memo line when you give to Caridad. This ensures we can buy exactly what is needed for our clients and in the appropriate sized container as well as boosting our local economy.

WATER

In Southern Nevada desert life can be brutal on the streets.  Every year homeless loose their lives on the streets due to dehydration.  We ask that you DO NOT ship water but rather make sure to reply back to your donations receipt email with the word water on the memo line when you give to Caridad.

UNDERWEAR, BRAS, & SOCKS

Staying true to our roots, Caridad hosts an annual sock and underwear drive, Undie Sunday.  Undie Sunday is held the Sunday proceeding Easter and donors are encouraged to contribute new or very lightly used bras, new socks, and new underwear. A homeless friend once told Caridad’s founder Merideth that these items are like gold on the streets.

Socks, underwear, and bras can all be purchased cheaply at most discount stores. Some of our local favorites include:

• Walmart
• 99 Cents Only Stores
• Fallas Paredes
• Ross
