Santa Saks helping the homeless in our community

We are meeting the basic needs of homeless people in Montana by providing a backpack full of essential gear.

Through a variety of donations and corporate sponsors we are able to help meet the needs of the hundreds of homeless in Montana by distributing packs loaded with gear that can make their days and nights just a little more comfortable.

Homeless person sleeping on the street We also are placing a face to the homeless need in our communities by educating people about the needs and realities of the homeless in our towns and cities. It is much harder to ignore a problem when you can see these are real people who are trying to survive and do the best they can.

Where We Help

Currently Santa Saks is helping the homeless in Montana. We are based in Missoula and have provided packs to individuals in Missoula and Kalispell. Every year since our first pack was delivered we have tried to grow and reach a larger number of people in a larger geographic region. Let us know if you are in a different location and would like to see the homeless in your community receiving the help they need.
