This time of year, it's easy to romanticize nomadic life—windows down, open skies, and the freedom of the open road stretching out ahead. But for many of the nomads we serve, summer tells a very different story.
Right now, thousands of people are work-camping at national parks, harvest sites, and campgrounds. Behind the scenic views are stretched-thin paychecks, extreme summer heat, and the constant, underlying reality that a single vehicle breakdown or medical emergency could unravel everything.
Summer jobs last only a few short months, and long winters with few opportunities for work can push meager savings to the breaking point.
We are here to help—and with your support, we can!
Your donations support:
The Emergency Fund (eFund)— Direct grants up to $1,500 for safety-related repairs,
towing, food, and fuel. In 2025, we helped 39 people with over $10,000 in emergency
assistance.
In-Person Caravans — Volunteer-led gatherings that bring nomads together for
connection and mutual support throughout the season.
The Rubber Tramp Rendezvous (RTR) — Our free annual gathering in Quartzsite, AZ
draws 3,500+ nomads for workshops, community, and connection. Planning for our
January 2027 event is already underway, and your gift will help cover vital expenses that
make this free event possible.
