Donate Money, Food, & Toiletries for Homeless People for the Holidays

Save to Favorites

Help us show kindness, compassion and provide the daily necessities to people who are homeless and displaced with no loved ones to care for them during this holiday season.

We are an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, True Circle Organization. What this means to you is that more of your money goes to feed and clothe the people you want to help and your money isn't used for high salaries and high overhead or administrative costs that other larger nonprofits have.

Your donation will go for buying food, water, underwear, socks and hygiene items that will be assembled in Go Bags and given out to people who are homeless directly.

Did you know that homeless people are often arrested for just being...homeless?
They have their tents and all their possessions confiscated and thrown away routinely.
Thus, the importance of have a bag filled with those items that you may take for granted on a daily basis.

When we personally hand out these go bags, many have hugged us, smiled for the first time in months, thanked god for answering their prayers, cried - many haven't eaten at all that day yet - or in two days!
A little compassion, empathy and a full stomach can go a long ways.

We provide a nice clean shirt, underwear, socks and toiletries to help clean them up for an interview, if they are able to work, and often give them ideas and make introductions to employers.

Treating people like people is so crucial to our lives. We need to be role models for our youth and show them to love and care for fellow humans - whatever their origin, race, color, sexual preference, religion or age they are.

Please help us in giving to those who can't care for themselves. Please share this with your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers.
