EDUCATE
Before acting upon the homeless issue, it is pivotal to fully comprehend the matter. We encourage individuals to learn the root causes and possible solutions for homelessness.
Once we comprehend the complexities of the homeless issue, try to educate others. You can educate individuals from your family members all the way to a politician by sending a letter. Don’t be afraid to express your opinions and thoughts on homelessness: the more of an open discussion we have about the issue, the closer we will get to achieving a sustainable solution.
A great way to educate others on homelessness is by sharing interviews and stories from Homeless Horizons. These videos bring new perspectives to the homeless issue and foster a community built on empathy.
Volunteer
Volunteering is a great way to go out and help the homeless community. Some different forms of volunteering include helping with food, shelters and education for homeless individuals. Since homelessness is so vast in the Bay Area, there are so many ways you can volunteer.
Homeless Horizons believes that it is important everyone can find volunteer opportunities that fits their schedule. Therefore, we have created an interactive map and database with detailed information on volunteer opportunities in the Bay Area. This database will be released soon.
Remember that anyone can volunteer, and your help has such a great impact on improving the homeless issue.
Donate
Donating is a fantastic way to help the homeless situation. There are so many different ways that you can donate. For example, you can donate clothing and other essential items to homeless shelters, or make monetary donations. Feel free to check out the homeless organizations mentioned in the volunteer opportunities above to find more opportunities to donate essential items.
Unfortunately, you cannot currently donate directly to Homeless Horizons. However, you can donate to various homeless shelters and organizations in the area. Every contribution will make a big impact.
We hope you can contribute.
