Mission Statement
Street Patrol serves marginalized groups by delivering aid and comfort where they are, directly on the streets and confined to the criminal justice system.
Description
Street Patrol serves marginalized groups (unhoused community & juvenile detention center youth) by delivering aid and comfort (hygiene items, food/water, cold weather items, medical supplies, & clothing) where they are, directly on the streets and confined to the criminal justice system.
Street Patrol is a minority and women owned non-profit organization that began with a few volunteers in a couple of vehicles with some cold weather items searching for those who may need them in vacant buildings, parks, and the like. Now we serve an average of 1,100 individuals annually with increasing digits for those securing permanent housing. Our juvenile detention center program mentors youth directly on-site in life skills and financial literacy for more than 5 years. Our growth is a direct result of cultivating local partnerships and the Board of Directors, whom represent the community we serve.
