Help US, Help OTHERS

SHILO, meaning Supporting Homeless Innovatively Loving Others, was brought into light by a former homeless individual who worked in homeless prevention and suffered homelessness as well.

With a creation of a petition to establish a year round emergency shelter, it then inspired a collabration of individuals and groups to provide food and clothing to those in need, at least once a week.  It has lead to a now established 4 day distribution of food and clothing to the homeless.

SHILO provides advocacy in the form of housing, job retention, mental health, and overall well being to those struggling in tough hardships.

Our objective of our outreach is to secure funding to create a drop in center/emergency shelter, servicing the entire homeless community in New Brunswick, NJ.

SHILO is soley operated and functioning through donations. Hence, we are progressing towards our goal! With your help, and generosity, our goal can be reached with any contributions you can give. $1 can make a huge change for our mission!

This is how your donation contribues to help us help others:

$10- several essential hygene items including: deoderant, soap, shampoo, toothrbushes and toothpaste.

$20- can feed 20-40 people with a health conscience meal.

$40 to $60- assist in purchasing hot coffee, beverages, as well as a full course hot meals,  including choices such as water, fruit juices, tea, etc.

Any other generous contributions will automatically be applied to the greater goal of helping us with sustaining our wrap-around services, including the purchase and rennovation to establish a location for SHILO; to operate an emergency shelter with hours from 7pm to 7am.

“Bleak, dark, and piercing cold, it was a night for the well-housed and fed to draw round the bright fire, and thank God they were at home; and for the homeless starving wretch to lay him down and die. Many hunger-worn outcasts close their eyes in our bare streets at such times, who, let their crimes have been what they may, can hardly open them in a more bitter world.”
― Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
