About Victory Programs: Victory Programs opens the door to hope, recovery, and community for individuals and families facing homelessness, addiction, or other chronic health conditions. They foster a world where everyone has access to safe, healthy, and inclusive communities, offering individualized care from a strengths-based philosophy to help clients identify and achieve their personal goals. In practical terms, they meet people where they are and help them address the unique challenges that stand in the way of stability, safety, independence, and participation in community life.

Opportunity Description: Volunteers will assemble travel-sized hygiene kits for clients of Victory Programs. These kits will include everyday essentials, such as shampoo, soap, and toothpaste, to be distributed by the Mobile Prevention Team during street outreach.
