CAMPING FOR HOPE

GCCM's Annual Winter Supply Distribution Event

Our next Camping for Hope event will be held December 7, 2024. Collections of supplies will begin in October. Early donations help us avoid depleting local inventories ahead of the event.

Our goal at Camping for Hope is to help prepare homeless men and women on the Mississippi Gulf Coast for our cold wet winter. This year we anticipate equipping approximately 200 individuals. Supplies and volunteers are always needed! 


ITEMS DONATED FOR CAMPING FOR HOPE ARE FOR AREA HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS 


Location: The Elks Lodge vacant lot next to Shaggy's near Hwy. 90 & 15th Street in downtown Gulfport. Coast Transit Authority will provide complimentary transportation to and from the federal courthouse next to Mississippi Aquarium the morning of the event. Look for required vouchers at Gulf Coast Community Ministries, Feed My Sheep, Mental Health Association of South Mississippi, Salvation Army, Back Bay Mission and Loaves & Fishes. 


Schedule:

6 a.m. Site set up
