Each year millions of homeless Americans struggle to survive rain, snow, and sub-freezing temperatures. Lack of shelter and inadequate clothing make exposure-related injuries and deaths a serious threat. Items such as down jackets, waterproof rain gear, sleeping bags, and tents can save lives.
DOWN For the Down & Out (sponsored by Patagonia) puts donated outdoor equipment in the hands of the people who need it most. Making a donation between now and mid-January is a great way to recycle your old gear and to keep a homeless person warm and safe this winter.
NEEDED ITEMS:
- Sleeping bags
- Sleeping pads
- Tents
- Warm Clothing
- Jackets
- Rain Gear
- Gloves and hats
- Boots and socks

DOWN For the Down & Out is sponsored by The Dirtbag Grant from Patagonia. It was conceived to support an individual or team with an outdoor objective that's unique, adventurous and celebrates the ideal of "doing more with less." By doing more with less, the applicant is demonstrating first, how they will take an epic adventure on a small budget, and second, how they can do something incredible with little impact on the environment. Proposed trips should have an environmental activism component, incorporate the culture of the intended destination and must involve an athletic pursuit such as climbing, skiing, surfing, trail running, kayaking, biking or backpacking.
