To continue our support of homeless communities during the public health concern around COVID-19, Rise of Broken Women has been distributing face-masks to homeless shelters and homeless individuals on the street. The is a critical need as New York City’s homeless shelters are breeding ground for the coronavirus given the lack of protective gear and sanitary procedures needed for people in shelters. Approximately 58,000 homeless individuals comprising of women, children and men, who seek shelter are ill and have a comprised immune system.
Rise of Broken Women is looking for in-person volunteers to support with PPE distribution to homeless individuals on the streets. Sign up to volunteer and become one of #CharleesAngels - https://riseofbrokenwomen.org/volunteer/

Mission Statement
Rise of Broken Women is a multicultural nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women and their families extricate themselves from the cycle of poverty.
Description
Rise of Broken Women is built on our vast network of volunteers who enable us to distribute basic necessities to women and families in over 98 homeless shelters and low-income communities throughout the five boroughs of New York City. We have distributed menstrual products, toiletries, winter coats, socks, under garments, school supplies, and toys to over 15,000 people within our community. We also work to educate the non-poverty-stricken New York City community on issues facing homeless and low-income families so that they become inspired to help these families out of their poverty-stricken circumstances. Understanding is the key to empathizing and taking action.
