Our comprehensive programs aim to provide essential services and support to help people regain stability and work towards self-sufficiency. Here’s a detailed report on our work and the state of homelessness in the USA:

Food for the Homeless

Together, we can reduce the food hunger.

Our food assistance program is a cornerstone of our efforts to support individuals experiencing homelessness. We believe that access to nutritious meals is a fundamental right and a crucial step in helping people maintain their health and well-being.

  • In 2023, approximately 38 million Americans faced food insecurity.
  • Among homeless individuals, an estimated 85% report not having enough food to eat.
  • 1 in 6 children in the US lives in a food-insecure household.

Our food program includes:

a) Soup kitchens: We operate  soup kitchens On Mondays, serving over 100 hot meals.

b) Mobile food trucks: We partner with mobile food trucks to reach underserved areas and homeless encampments, providing nutritious meals to those who can’t access traditional soup kitchens.

c) Food pantries: We are planning to partner with owners of food pantries to help us improve the distribution of non-perishable items and fresh produce to families and individuals at risk of homelessness.

d) Nutrition education: We offer workshops on healthy eating on a budget, teaching valuable skills to those transitioning out of homelessness.

Clothes for the Homeless

Proper clothing is essential for dignity, protection from the elements, and improving chances of employment. Our clothing program aims to provide clean, well-fitting clothes to those in need.

Key statistics:

  • Approximately 60% of homeless individuals report inadequate clothing for weather conditions.
  • Lack of proper attire is cited as a barrier to employment by 40% of homeless job seekers.

Our clothing program includes:
