The Access to Water Initiative
About our statement.
Our mission comes from a simple belief: no one in our community should ever be without water. For people experiencing homelessness, access to clean drinking water is often uncertain, even though it is essential to all. We exist to help meet that basic need, offering something small that can make a real difference in someone’s day, health, and sense of dignity.
We are driven by a desire to better our community by caring for the people who are too often overlooked. When we provide water, we’re doing more than handing out bottles—we’re showing kindness, acknowledging humanity, and reminding people that they matter. These moments of connection are just as important as the water itself.
By working together with neighbors, volunteers, and local partners, we aim to build a community rooted in compassion and responsibility. Our mission is about showing up, meeting essential needs, and creating a future where everyone has access to what they need to survive and be seen.
about our mission:
Our mission is to ensure individuals experiencing homelessness have consistent access to clean, essential drinking water. We do this through a simple, transparent, and community-driven approach that turns compassion into action.
First, we raise funds through community donations, local events, and partnerships with supporters who believe that water is essential to all. Every dollar raised is directed toward providing clean water, allowing our community to directly support those in need.
Next, we purchase water in the most cost-effective way possible, maximizing the impact of each contribution. By buying in bulk and seeking local suppliers, we ensure that donations go further and help more people.
We then work closely with local homeless shelters and outreach organizations on a biweekly basis to understand current needs and coordinate exactly how much water is required. These partnerships help us respond efficiently and avoid waste while ensuring water reaches the people who need it most.
Finally, we deliver the water directly and track each distribution. This accountability allows us to measure our impact, remain transparent with our supporters, and continuously improve how we serve our community.
