Who are we?

We rely on the generosity of the community itself through various channels, including Amazon Wish List, PayPal donations, and a 10% contribution from sales at our online store, Vixens Playground: @vixensplay on Poshmark mission is to create strong networks within the community, connecting people with essential services such as caseworkers, housing lists, food banks and more such as but not limited to connecting work and training programs, patient advocates, free or low cost continuing education, as well as local education programs. You can find all our lists at the "Find Help" button at the bottom of this section.Our Mission
One of our key initiatives involves distributing care bags filled with everyday necessities to those in need. Our goal is to provide a helping hand to community members who might be facing financial challenges. Each bag contains essential items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, socks, and much more. While we aim to provide durable backpacks, the contents and type of bags we distribute may vary, depending on the donations received each month. We also believe that when someone donated to a cause, 100% of that donation goes to the cause! We do not take even a cent from your donations to line our pockets so you will always know where your donations are going. That's a promise.Through our various programs and the generosity of our donors, Our Streets Speak strives to empower individuals and foster a strong sense of community, providing support and resources to those who need it most. Because our streets have stories, and they deserve to be heard.
