Homeless, Not Hopeless Philly

Since 2017, with the help of endless, generous hearts, the Homeless, Not Hopeless Campaign has worked hard to raise funds for the homeless men and women across Philadelphia, in hopes to alleviate the unbearable winter conditions and the stigma surrounding homelessness. Our mission is to ensure that the homeless men and women we reach are given proper supplies to equip them for winter conditions, provide hot meals, access to transportation and resources, as well as a good conversation, human connection and if able, a little bit of hope.

Living in Philadelphia, it is easy to see how entrenched our community is with homelessness. It is growingly devastating, witnessing the many rows and rows of people laying without blankets on the streets, sitting on street corners desperately asking for help, and seeking shelter in subways and underpasses. The vulnerability these men and women demonstrate on a regular basis is unimaginable. Each person has a different story and may have come from different places, but one truth remains the same: they are human beings who need our help to survive and have said over and over again that this is the last place they want to be. With a problem this large globally, it becomes very easy to believe that someone else will take care of it or there are too many individuals who need help to make a difference. But the best we can do is try and in the past 5 years that collective effort makes a world's difference.

I am asking for your help to assist in raising funds to assemble all-inclusive care packages with sleeping bags for the homeless population here in Philadelphia. It is with your help that we can truly make a difference and it is with your hearts, that we are able to do much more than create a sigh of relief for these men and women in Philadelphia who desperately need our help.

Thank you so much for your time, support, and donations.

Please read through our previous years' posts to see just how funds are used, how far our outreach has stretched, and the growth we've been fortunate enough to experience over the last few years. Please feel free to reach out to me individually with any questions, suggestions, or ideas you may have!
