MVHO Street Outreach Team Partners with Sub Zero Mission to Provide Warmth for the Homeless

Miami Valley Housing Opportunities’ (MVHO) Street Outreach team had the honor of partnering with the Sub Zero Mission (SZM) to provide much-needed warmth and resources to individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness. On this occasion, the team acted as guides, assisting SZM in distributing essential cold-weather gear to those sleeping outdoors during the harsh winter months.

Sub Zero Mission, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the homeless, provided a variety of items critical for survival in freezing temperatures. These included hats, gloves, boots, coats, and sleeping bags — all designed to offer protection and comfort to individuals enduring the severe cold.

During the outreach, MVHO’s Johna Whitfield and Sage Reed reported a particularly concerning case. They encountered an individual who had very few cold-weather items and was at serious risk of succumbing to the extreme temperatures. Thankfully, through the collaborative efforts of SZM and MVHO, this person received the items they needed to survive the night.

This joint initiative highlights the invaluable work being done by the Sub Zero Mission and the MVHO Street Outreach team to save lives and provide essential support to the homeless community. Together, they are making a significant impact in the fight against homelessness and ensuring that no one has to face the elements alone.

MVHO extends its deepest gratitude to the Sub Zero Mission for their unwavering commitment to assisting those in need, and to the Street Outreach team for their continued dedication to serving and protecting our most vulnerable neighbors.
