We are in desperate need of a passenger van for a couple of our programs. First is our Safe Harbor program in which we pick up families from in the desert and house them while establishing permanent housing. We also deliver pizza, chicken, and water to the unhoused individuals living in the encampments all over the Antelope Valley. This currently takes 2-3 of our personal vehicles to hold all the food and water necessary to help those individuals. This is dangerous and costly to maintain our vehicles. Having a passenger Van will allow us to use a branded vehicle and use only one vehicle to do the same job which will reduce our gas costs.
We require an office with a minimum of three offices, reception area, restrooms, conference room, and multipurpose room with an attached warehouse big enough to have extra large walk in refrigerators and freezers with space to store, sort and distribute all donated items and to accommodate the programs and services we want to offer our community.
With the pallets that we get donated it is a struggle to remove the boxes one by one off each pallet. Having a forklift would make this process faster and more efficient. We would need a forklift with a 5,000-7,000 lb. capacity.
Currently we rent trucks (approximately $350 per day plus gas) to pick up the pallets of food and merchandise that are donated to us. Unfortunately, we have had issues securing a truck due to availability and had to turn down merchandise. If we had our own truck we would not have to worry about not having trucks available when we get the call to pick up merchandise. We are looking for a newer truck to meet our needs. By having a truck with the sleeping cab it enables us to save money on hotels when we do events so we are right there and ready for the early morning set up. The money we save can then be put back into the organization.
We have been known to have 5 mile long lines at our distributions. We like to personally great each car and offer participants waiting in lines cold waters when it's hot because it can be difficult to wait in the heat. A golf cart would give us that ability as well as some much needed shade. We often have to go from one end of the distribution site to the other and this would give us the ability to do so much faster. It would also give us way to have the dignitaries greet their constitutes. The above picture is for style purposes only.

We would love to be able to take small groups of youth on camping or fishing trips. During these excursions we would engage with the youth getting to know what their struggles are, what they need and offer mentorship to help guide them through life. In our research we discovered the perfect option. The Thor Motor Coach Aria 4000 in Sapphire. It comes with the availability to sleep 10 and has 2 bathrooms which is perfect for our needs.
A pontoon boat would allow us to take small groups of youth fishing, or swimming in the summer. We could even take them whale watching. These are experiences they may not otherwise get.

The heaters allow us to stay warm during winter when we feed hot meals to the homeless. It also gives them a warm area to gather for a short period of time which can mean so mush when they are out in the elements.
