Ways to Help
Share the Warmth and Code Blue
At Southside Caring Hearts RVA, we are dedicated to providing essential support for homeless individuals in Richmond, Virginia. Our mission is to create a safe and welcoming environment where everyone can find shelter and resources to improve their lives.
Share the Warmth is SCHRVA's primary community initiative. Started 3 years ago, Share the Warmth collects donations of survival items, and essential clothing and hygiene products to help the unhoused survive the frigid winter months.
Contributions support the purchase of tents, blankets, coats, hats, gloves, and other essential items that are regularly distributed to men, women, and families in need of immediate assistance to survive when temperatures drop below 40 degrees.
CODE BLUE is an emergency fund set aside to help provide the most vulnerable among the unhoused with temporary, emergency shelter at local motels during extreme cold and/or inclement weather.
*SCHRVA is not a 501(c)3 organization. Donations are not tax-exempt. Given our continued growth and notoriety, our goal is to apply for tax-exempt status after January 1, 2026.

Help Us... Help Them!
WE CAN DO SO MUCH, WITH JUST A LITTLE HELP FROM YOU!
It doesn't take much to ensure that our homeless friends and neighbors have access to a meal when they are hungry or access to a hot shower or a place to get or wash their clothes.
The help that we get from supporters just like you can sometimes be the difference between life and death.
Whether it be a monetary contribution, or an in-kind donation of things like non-perishable food items, men's and women's hygiene products, and/or new or gently used, seasonally appropriate clothing...
