Join Our Bedding Drive!

YOU can be a part of welcoming an unhoused neighborhood into Esperanza!

As we continue moving folks into shelters at Esperanza, we are running a bedding drive to make them feel welcome. Click the link below to order some bedding and give someone the gift of a safe, comfortable night's rest:

WHO GIVES?

Austen Bailey has been a supporter of TOOF since our inception. He serves as the Outreach Director for One Chapel and the Talent Buyer for Mohawk, coming face to face with homelessness nearly every day...

“Working on Red River…you develop a heart for people. You see folks disgusted, stepping over our neighbors experiencing homelessness, treating them like they’re anathema or flat out ignoring them. It’s gut wrenching.

I’m a big fan of the ‘teach a man to fish’ philosophy, and The Other Ones Foundation is doing just that…You’re investing in people, restoring their dignity. By providing not only employment opportunities of which they can take pride in, but also the opportunity to connect with their co-workers, you’re creating community. You’re sending the message that not only is your time, and your work valuable, but you are inherently valuable.”
