Causes: Homeless & Housing, Homeless Centers, Human Services

Mission: We are a local charity that serves the hungry, the homeless, and the hurting by filling practical needs, providing resources, and building relationships. Our goal is to provide practical and necessary items for life and home to individuals and families experiencing crisis situations like homelessness, new housing from being homeless, house fire, domestic violence, bed bug infestations, physical/mental disabilities, un/underemployment.

Results: We serve up to 200 individuals and families each month with our services and programs. We are hoping to buy a box truck soon and expand into other areas, because transportation is a real and continuous obstacle for our clients.

Target demographics: families experiencing crisis situations receive practical items for their family and home.

Direct beneficiaries per year: 2,400 families receive the practical things they needed

Geographic areas served: Central Virginia

Programs: Our Personal Shopper Experience, Back-to-School and Christmas Help, as well as our WeCare client follow-up program and the Cases of Hope prison suitcase ministry for released offenders.
