What You Can Do to Help Tent City 4:

  • Help us by cleaning any number of blankets you can from as few as 4 to as many as you may like. The camp will be able to launder up to 600 Blankets a week in the near future but for now each new camper needs just four blankets to stay warm, dry and safe.

  • Raise funds or make a cash donation - SHARE/WHEEL spends over $5000 per month on Honey Buckets, dumpsters, bus passes, and other administration. Tent City 4 does not receive any government or municipal funding for its operations. Allowing us to provide a clean and sanitary shelter relies on donations from local communities.
    Monetary donations can be sent to our office or dropped off at the camp location anytime. Checks should be made payable to SHARE. Donations can also be made online via Paypal.

  • Prepare and serve a nutritious, hot meal – Local volunteer groups provide a hot dinner for the 80 to 100 Tent City 4 residents every day of the week. Email tc4@sharewheel.org, to book a meal event. The meals coordinator will help you with everything to need to know to make your meal a success. Interested in preparing a meal for Tent city 4? Email us at tc4@sharewheel.org for more information or to be added to our meal calendar.

  • Donate other food supplies – Coffee, tea, cream, sugar, canned & packaged items can be delivered to the camp at any time.

  • Donate non-food supplies – We are in need for tents, tarps, flashlights and AAA-batteries, can be dropped off directly at camp any time.
