Support Sacramento’s Most Vulnerable This Spring/Summer Through Water and Essential Donations (links to donate)

Sacramento, CA — At NoBonesNoHunger, our mission is to serve and uplift individuals in need throughout the Sacramento community. We are dedicated to providing essential resources and support to those experiencing hardship, and we remain committed to making a meaningful impact right here in our city.

As we transition into the warmer spring season and approach the peak of summer, access to clean, reliable drinking water becomes even more critical. High temperatures can pose serious health risks, especially for individuals who are unsheltered or have limited access to basic necessities. Ensuring that our community members stay hydrated is one of our top priorities during these months.

There are several ways you can support this effort. If you would like to make a monetary donation to help us purchase cases of bottled water, please visit the link provided in this post. We currently accept contributions through Cash App, Venmo, and PayPal. When making your donation, we kindly ask that you include “case of water” in the note section so we can allocate your contribution directly toward this need. On average, a case of bottled water costs approximately $6.00, including CRV and other associated fees.

Transparency is extremely important to us. Every donation we receive is used exactly as intended by our supporters, and we take pride in ensuring that your generosity directly benefits those you are aiming to help.

In addition to monetary donations, we also offer the option to contribute through our Amazon wish list, which is linked in this post. This list includes items that are especially useful during warmer weather, such as bottled water, electrolyte drinks, cooling supplies, and other essentials that help individuals stay safe and comfortable in the heat. If there are additional items you would like to donate that are not currently listed, you are welcome to include them in your order. Simply select at least one item from the wish list, which will allow you to add other products before completing your purchase.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. Your support helps us continue our outreach efforts and ensures that we can provide critical resources to those who need them most.

We truly appreciate your kindness, generosity, and willingness to stand with us in supporting our Sacramento community.

Meet Priscilla: A Strong and Compassionate Volunteer Making a Difference in Sacramento

Sacramento, CA — We’re excited to introduce the incredible volunteers who support us at our Table of Giving. From time to time, we’ll be highlighting the individuals who make a meaningful impact in our community and help us carry out our mission with compassion and consistency. These volunteers are the heart of what we do, and we are proud to share their stories.

Today, we’re honored to feature Priscilla, also known as Cilla. We first connected with her through another creator on TikTok, and what began as a simple connection quickly grew into something much more meaningful. Since then, she has become not only a dedicated volunteer, but also a trusted friend and a familiar, uplifting presence on our live streams. Her energy, kindness, and willingness to help have made a lasting impression on everyone she meets.

Priscilla plays an important role in helping us serve our community. Whether she is assisting at the table, engaging with others during our live sessions, or supporting behind the scenes, she consistently shows up with a positive attitude and a genuine desire to help others. Her contributions never go unnoticed, and her presence continues to strengthen the work we do.

One of Priscilla’s most inspiring qualities is her resilience. She does not allow her disability to define or limit her. Instead, she faces each day with strength, determination, and grace. Her outlook on life serves as a reminder that challenges do not have to stand in the way of purpose, and she inspires those around her simply by being herself. 

A little more about Priscilla: she is 26 years old and was born and raised in Stockton, California. She has a creative side and enjoys activities such as drawing and exploring makeup artistry. She also has a love for food and enjoys both dining out and home cooked meals. Some of her favorite cuisines include Italian, Chinese, and Mexican dishes.

If you spend time on our live streams, chances are you have already seen Priscilla in action. She joins us regularly and also serves as an outstanding moderator, helping keep our space welcoming, engaging, and supportive for everyone involved. Her presence truly enhances the experience for our community.

If you would like to connect with her, you can follow Priscilla on TikTok at @Priscillama. We encourage you to show your support and get to know her as well.

Priscilla has spent time in our home, and we are grateful to consider her part of our extended family.

Start Small, Stay Consistent: A Practical Guide to Helping Your Local Community (links to donate below)

Sacramento, CA — We’re often asked how to start a community table, and we’re always glad to share what we’ve learned. If you’re looking to get started, you’re in the right place. We believe information like this should be open and accessible, especially when it comes to supporting others and building stronger communities.

Our work started a few years ago with a simple goal. We prepared meals and handed them out directly to people experiencing homelessness across Sacramento. At that time, we weren’t streaming or sharing the process online. We focused on being consistent, building trust, and treating everyone with dignity and respect. As time went on, people began to notice and offered donations to support the effort.

At the start of 2026, we began going live on TikTok. This gave us a way to be transparent with supporters. People can see exactly how their contributions are used and the impact they’re making. It also adds a layer of accountability and helps keep things safer while we’re out in the community.

If you’re thinking about starting your own table, the most important thing is to start small and stay consistent. You don’t need a big budget or a perfect setup. Begin with what you can manage. Discount stores are a great place to find practical items like snacks, bottled water, hygiene products, toiletries, socks, and other essentials. Simple options like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are affordable, easy to prepare, and always appreciated.

Staying organized makes a big difference. Packing items into gallon bags or simple plastic bags can help you create care packages that are easy to hand out. It also helps ensure each person receives a mix of useful items. As you grow, you can adjust based on what people in your area need most.

Using platforms like TikTok can help you reach more people and build a community around your work. Going live allows others to connect with what you’re doing in real time. As your audience grows, you can set up a wishlist so supporters can contribute directly. This makes it easy for people to get involved in a meaningful way.

Transparency should always be a priority. Be clear about how donations are used and show the process whenever you can, whether that’s shopping, prepping meals, or distributing supplies. People appreciate being part of the journey, and it builds trust over time.

At the core of this work is consistency, honesty, and compassion. It’s not about recognition, it’s about showing up and helping others. When your intentions are genuine, people notice, and your impact grows naturally.

We hope this gives you the confidence to get started. Even small efforts matter, and every act of kindness helps build a stronger, more connected community.

Respect and Privacy Matter: A Message to Our TikTok Live Community (people with disabilities)

Sacramento, CA. — It’s unfortunate that this even needs to be said, but sometimes curiosity turns into something more intrusive than intended. During our TikTok lives, we occasionally get questions like, “Why is John Doe in a wheelchair?” or “Why is Mary disabled?”

We understand that people may be curious, but the honest answer is simple: it’s not your business.

Members of our community, including some of our volunteers, live with disabilities. They are here to be part of the same shared experience as everyone else, not to have their personal lives questioned or explained. Their medical history, personal challenges, or life circumstances are private, and they have every right to keep those details to themselves.

It’s important to remember that being part of a community means showing respect, kindness, and basic human decency. Asking someone to explain their disability, especially in a public setting, can be uncomfortable and inappropriate. No one should feel singled out or put on display.

We ask that everyone be mindful of how they engage. Focus on the purpose of our lives, support one another, and help us maintain a welcoming and respectful space for all.

How Our TikTok Community Helped Feed Sacramento’s Homeless on March 14, 2026 (Truck Rental Information / Link to Donate)

Sacramento, CA — On March 14, 2026, we had the opportunity to host another community outreach event serving the unhoused community here in Sacramento. Thanks to the generosity and support of our TikTok followers, we were able to provide fresh grilled burgers prepared on site, along with bacon wrapped hot dogs generously provided by a fellow TikTok influencer. In addition to the hot meals, we distributed our usual assortment of essential supplies and care items to those in need.

Events of this size require a significant amount of coordination and equipment. To transport all of the food, supplies, and materials needed to make the event successful, we typically rent a truck such as a U Haul. The cost for the rental, including mileage and fuel, averages about $75 each time we host a large-scale event. With the help of our generous supporters, we were able to cover the truck rental for this past outreach.

If you would like to help support future events by contributing toward truck rentals, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Monetary donations can be made through Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal. Please include “Truck Rental” in the note when submitting your donation so we can allocate it accordingly.

Thank you in advance for your continued generosity and support. Your contributions help make these community outreach efforts possible.

NoNobesNoHunger: Mission Statement & Core Values (links to donate)

Mission Statement

NoBonesNoHunger exists to serve our unhoused neighbors in Sacramento with consistent, homemade meals prepared with care and dignity. What began as an act of sharing has grown into a committed outreach rooted in compassion, transparency, and community. We believe that no one should be unseen, unheard, or unfed. Through reliable presence, responsible stewardship of donations, and genuine human connection, we strive to create a table where every person feels valued and respected.

Core Values

Compassion in Action

We respond to hunger not with words alone, but with consistent, hands on service. Our work is driven by empathy and a deep sense of responsibility to care for those in need.

Dignity for Every Person

Every individual who approaches our table is treated with kindness, respect, and humanity. We serve meals, but we also offer eye contact, conversation, and acknowledgment.

Consistency and Commitment

Hunger is not occasional, and neither is our response. We show up reliably, understanding that trust is built through steady presence.

Transparency and Accountability

We serve publicly to ensure openness in how donations are used and to provide safety for both volunteers and guests. Every contribution is handled with gratitude and care.

Community Stewardship

We are not backed by a large organization. We are supported by individuals who believe in this mission. Every dollar and donated item goes directly back into feeding the community.

Humility and Unity

This work is not about recognition or competition. It is about service. We honor others doing similar work and remain focused on the shared goal of reducing hunger and restoring hope.

Safety and Integrity

Serving on the streets requires awareness and responsibility. We prioritize the well being of our volunteers and the individuals we serve, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all.

At its core, NoBonesNoHunger is built on a simple belief: when compassion is consistent, it becomes something powerful. A table can become a place of hope. A meal can become a moment of dignity. And small acts, repeated faithfully, can strengthen an entire community.

Serving Dignity One Plate at a Time (cost factor and links to donate)

Sacramento, CA: We are often asked why it costs what it does to provide meals for members of our community. At NoBonesNoHunger, our work is about more than handing someone a plate of food. We are committed to offering comfort, dignity, and genuine care to neighbors facing hunger and housing insecurity. Every meal is made with intention and the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen and valued.

Food prices continue to climb, and even a simple, wholesome meal adds up quickly. On average, it costs about 150 dollars to prepare a meal that serves between 25 and 50 people. When we serve 25 individuals, that comes to roughly 6 dollars per person for a nourishing, thoughtfully prepared meal. Six dollars may not sound like much, but for someone who does not know when they will eat again, it makes a real difference.

Each meal includes a hearty main dish and something extra to lift spirits. We have served fully loaded burritos, breakfast burritos, spaghetti, pasta dishes, chicken dishes, and sandwiches. We often add baked goods such as muffins, cookies, and other homemade desserts. These are more than menu items. They are small acts of kindness that bring warmth and a moment of joy.

For many of the people we serve, this meal is not just nourishment. It is a reminder that their community cares. A warm plate of food can restore a sense of hope, spark connection, and reassure someone that they are not alone.

If you feel moved to support this work, we welcome monetary donations or purchases through our Amazon wish list. Your generosity allows us to continue showing up with consistency, compassion, and care. Every gift, no matter the amount, directly impacts the lives of those we are honored to serve. We are truly grateful for your partnership in helping us make a difference.
