Give wisely to the unsheltered

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