  • 1 person is interested

Simply the Basics is working to reduce stigma surrounding the needs and challenges faced by someone experiencing homelessness. You can help provide greater needs and personal awareness through the #DayWithoutBasicsChallenge!

For an entire day, keep a list of every product that you use throughout the day. At the end of the day, share your list on social media!

With your final post, make a $25 donation to Simply the Basics, which will provide those basics to someone in need. Tag 3 friends to challenge either way!

The challenges will begin July 1st. More detailed information will be provided, including sample posts. Sign up on the pledge and commit to taking the #DayWithoutBasicsChallenge!

Mission Statement

The Mission of Simply the Basics is to provide for individuals, organizations, and communities their most basic needs with dignity so that they can focus on bigger goals. We simply remove barriers, allowing people to have the opportunity to achieve.

Description

Simply the Basics is inspired by Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the philosophy that people are unable to focus on any needs higher than their current level on the following pyramid. If they are unable to meet needs at the very basic level (food, shelter, clothing, education, and hygiene), they will be incapable of moving up in the pyramid to reach greater goals (job security, sobriety, mental and physical health, and self actualization).

By alleviating the struggle to meet a most basic need, a person can achieve independence in other areas. By removing the barrier of finding the next meal or safe place to sleep, securing hygiene products, and meeting any other basic human needs...People are given the Opportunity to Achieve.
