What's more important in the world of a nonprofit - the mission, or fundraising? In my world, I don't think you can answer one without the other. No matter the mission, there is always a "cost" of doing do. Our Foundation provides household furniture and accessories to veterans exiting homelessness, first responders and victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. The furniture and accessories we use in our furnishings comes from donors all across our region of operations. So because the items are being donated most folks don't see the need to financially support our organization...as we get the items we need to support our mission at no cost! What donors don't understand is that it takes on average 3-4 donation pickup missions to meet the need of one veteran. Fuel, labor, storage, insurance - the cost of "doing good" is not cheap! In order to keep our mission moving forward, our Foundation has created several Community Outreach events that we do each year to raise the necessary funding to sustain our efforts for the year. May - Tee-Up to End Homelessness Charity Golf Tournament August 10, 2024 - Charity Car Show September 28, 2024 - Chesterfield Freedom Festival November 8, 2024 - Walk to End Homelessness We are looking for Corporate Partners to help us with the three remaining events this year. Send me an email if your company is interested in becoming a partner in Ending Homelessness - [email protected].

Expanding Housing First initiatives can significantly support charities like Newbury Soup Kitchen in housing our clients. Housing First offers a pathway to more sustainable outcomes for our clients. Rather than solely providing temporary relief, Newbury Soup Kitchen can collaborate with Housing First programs to facilitate the transition of our clients into permanent housing. This allows us to focus its resources on other essential services, such as providing meals and outreach. Sadly, this service is required now more than ever with the increasing rise in homelessness across England. Through collaboration and a shared commitment to housing as a fundamental human right, Housing First can support our clients find a long-term solution to homelessness. #notjustsoup

What a great way to start the year.....Please support Malcolm (our Director of Finance & Risk) to raise money for this great cause, if you can. The streets are a very cold and dangerous place to live, especially at this time of year. In today's society, this should not be the only option for anyone, when life doesn't quite work out the way you planned. Please help Malcolm and Centrepoint give those less fortunate the help and support they need to rebuild their lives. https://lnkd.in/e5znRYdK

Showcase Sunday: Client Success Story 📚 This Feature Friday, we shine a light on Alex, a remarkable individual who found strength and support during his transformative 7 months at the Shelter Association of Washtenaw County. Alex's life took unexpected turns, leading him to face the challenges of homelessness. A resilient soul, Alex's story is a testament to the power of community and the positive impact of the shelter's programs. Motivated by a desire for stability, Alex embraced the resources and opportunities offered by the shelter. The shared experience of overcoming adversity connected him with fellow residents, fostering a sense of camaraderie and understanding. Alex's resilience became a source of inspiration within the shelter community. His positive attitude and determination created a ripple effect, motivating others to face their challenges with courage. Despite setbacks, Alex persevered, seizing opportunities for personal and professional growth. Navigating the shelter's programs, Alex not only secured employment but also developed new skills and found a renewed sense of purpose. The shelter, recognizing his commitment to personal development, played a pivotal role in assisting Alex in securing stable housing. With help from HouseN2Home, Alex will be able to furnish his new place with his favorite colors: pale yellow, burnt orange, and dark green. He was also able to take a laptop provided by the program, enabling him to make music, pay bills online, and work toward obtaining an income. Your support enables stories like Alex's to unfold. By donating, you contribute to the journey of individuals overcoming homelessness, each with a unique story of resilience. Join us in making a difference and empowering more individuals like Alex.

🗓️ It's cold outside, yet still so many young people have nowhere to sleep night after night 🥶 re:sustain is gearing up, alongside the wider industry, for this year's LandAid SleepOut 💤🌙, an incredible annual initiative dedicated to raising vital funds to support young people throughout the UK without a place to call home 🏠 David Harvey-Evers, Katie Whipp, Finlay Milliner and I will be getting a taste for the night's elements across two cities: #Bristol and #London. Join us as we take a stand against youth homelessness - it really is amazing what the industry can achieve when it works together 🤝 This issue is especially close to my heart as 5% of homeless people are veterans - a number which rose 14% in 2022 - no one who has served their country should be in this position, without the support of their family, military and social network. Op Fortitude aimed to remove veterans sleeping on the streets by the end of 2023 and the Government has committed to ending rough sleeping by the end of 2024. But this is a community effort and we must all help where we can. 🤔 If you're still on the fence about signing up, don't hesitate any longer - pull up your sleeping bag! 👉 https://lnkd.in/evpfAuwY 🤝 Unable to join on the night itself? You can still make a big impact by supporting our fundraising efforts 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekb-i49P Every donation helps provide vital support for young people in need, so please spread the word and collectively, we can create positive change 💪 #LandAidSleepOut #EndYouthHomelessness #CommunityImpact LandAid Sustainable Ventures  UK PropTech Association (UKPA) CMS King's College London Verdantix 

The latest figures from the government regarding homelessness tell us that over 300,000 households (at least) were assessed as homeless at the end of 2023. That’s a 14% increase on the figure we saw in 2022. It equates to an additional 38,100 people who are now experiencing homelessness. As we know all too well, homelessness comes in many forms, and the figures demonstrate a steady increase across the board. For example: ⚫ A 26% rise in rough sleeping - 3,000 people each night. ⚫ 279,000 families and individuals ‘living’ in temporary accommodation. ⚫ 20,000 people in supported accommodation or hostels. Ultimately, for too many people in 2023, the most wonderful time of the year was sadly a continued period of uncertainty, anxiety, and instability. It's seeing figures like these that only make the team here at Simon on the Streets even more determined to make sure this isn't the case by the time we reach Christmas 2024. As we near the end of our Christmas Appeal, any donation or support you can give would be greatly appreciated. #donations #donatenow #support

The best way to combat homelessness is to prevent people from losing their homes in the first place - read about this important program!

20% of the Canadian homeless population are youth between 13 and 24. In Toronto, 32% of people experiencing homelessness will have first experienced homelessness before the age of 16. Challenging economic times have put immense pressure on charities like ours with increased demand for our services and dwindling resources. As we approach the end of 2023, a stark reality has become painfully clear: charities across our nation are grappling with a severe decrease in support, leaving the most vulnerable at risk during the holidays. Please help provide a home for the holidays by giving to the YWS Home for the Holidays Campaign, where donations will be matched up to $200,000 thanks to a group of generous benefactors.
