Welcome to Desert jamboree 2023- Non Profit Supporting Veterans Homelessness

  • February 3, 2024

Ambulance Conversions and Community Building in Southern California

Greetings, fellow enthusiasts! I'm Daniel Belew, the Executive Director of Rescue Residences, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending veteran homelessness. Our ambitious initiative, Desert jamboree 2023, marks our first year of bringing ambulance conversions from all corners of the country to Southern California. The goal? To foster a sense of community, share experiences, and explore the concept of living in an ambulance as a viable housing solution.

A Vision Beyond Southern California

While our journey begins in Southern California, our vision extends nationally. We aim to replicate our success across the country, contributing to the broader mission of ending veteran homelessness.

Connecting Enthusiasts: A Glimpse into Our Community

Meet Jessica and others who have joined us from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They share their excitement about connecting with like-minded ambulance enthusiasts and supporting the critical work of Rescue Residence. Joining this community, they found a family-like atmosphere, complete with fantastic barbecue and a silent auction featuring unique items. 

 

Supporting Critical Work: Fundraising and Ambulance Conversions

At the heart of our event is a commitment to supporting our cause. The silent auction, featuring van life and vehicle conversion items, serves as a fundraiser to enhance our organization. Every penny raised contributes to making Rescue Residents even more effective in its mission.

 

Ambulance Camping: Bringing the Community Together

This year's event has seen a handful of ambulances camping on-site, providing an intimate setting for enthusiasts to learn about our mission and each other. With our very first ambulance on display, participants have the opportunity to witness the transformation and learn from one another, especially those embarking on their first ambulance conversion journey.

Stay Tuned for Future Auctions

As we continue our mission, stay tuned for future auctions. We'll be featuring more items related to van life and vehicle conversions, providing opportunities for both donations and bids. Your support through these auctions helps us further our cause and make a positive impact on veteran homelessness.

Join us on this exciting journey as we build a strong community, one ambulance at a time. Your involvement, whether through donations, bids, or simply spreading the word, contributes to the success of Desert jamboree 2023 and the broader vision of ending veteran homelessness nationwide. Together, let's make a difference!
