a water bottle redistribution initiative
Thirst Trap is a non-profit initiative to corral, clean, fill and get unclaimed water bottles into the hands of our unhoused neighbors who might need a sturdy hydration tool.
ask yourself, how many unused water bottles are sitting in the lost-and-found of your workplace, gym, favorite small business, even in your own home right now? staying hydrated in our high, dry climate can be tough and many of our communities share this untapped resource
streamlining consistent access to the vital necessity of water, specifically to our most vulnerable populations, is where we come in
what we do
(and do well)
Thirst Trap collects these bottles and transports them to our restaurant partners who thoroughly sanitize and dry them
Thirst Trap partners with local small businesses and community spaces to locate unclaimed water bottles
Thirst Trap transport these bottles to local community gatherings for our unhoused communities; any overflow we have gets donated directly to shelters
how you can help
simply put, can we have your water bottles? thermoses count too! we know every lost and found varies, and so can the frequency of donations. we have a drop-off spot located in Capitol Hill, and we’re happy to schedule pickups monthly & quarterly!
water bottles
and can you fill those water bottles with money before you give them to us? funds help cover transportation, cleaning, and the everyday costs that keep water flowing to those who need it most!
