TheTent Project

Get involved

There is more than one way to help.

Volunteer, offer land, or partner with us. Choose what fits, and we'll take it from there.

Volunteer your time

Help distribute new tents, sleeping bags and warm coats to neighbors who need them.

Volunteer with us

Funded by our family

Every tent, sleeping bag and coat we give is bought by the Ghanma family. We don't collect donations — if you'd like to help in another way, just email us.

Email us

Request supplies for your area

Ask about tents and sleeping bags for people or a community you support in Santa Clara or San Jose.

Make a request

Offer land for consideration

If you have land that could support the project's work, tell us about it and we'll review it with care.

Tell us about the land

Become a community partner

Community groups and local organizations can reach out to explore working together.

Start a conversation

Sell new supplies or offer land for rent

The project also buys brand-new tents and sleeping bags, and considers land offered for rent.

How it works

Helping begins with a simple step.

  1. 1

    Choose how to help

    Volunteer, offer land, partner with us, or request supplies for your area.

  2. 2

    Get in touch

    Email support@tentproject.org with a few details, or give us a call.

  3. 3

    We review it

    The team reads every request and offer and follows up with any questions.

  4. 4

    We coordinate next steps

    Together we plan what's possible, based on availability and circumstances.

We're a small, family-led project. We can't promise that every request will be met, and we aren't an emergency service. In an emergency, please call 911.

Send an inquiry

Tell us how you'd like to help.

Send us a short email — a few details are enough for us to reply.

Brand-new items only. Out of respect for the people we serve, the project only buys or distributes new tents and sleeping bags.
