Hope for home
educating, advocating, and donating
About Us:
We are hosting donation drives to remind everyone that although times are different and difficult, we cannot forget to help those in need. As a community, it is our duty to lend each other a helping hand, in order to all stand strong together. This is your chance to give back. We hope you will join this cause!
Our Mission:
As Unemployment rates rise, so does homelessness. Our goal is to connect with people of all races, ages, and religions to work together to lower Seattle's homelessness population through educating, advocating, and donating.
Who Are We?
We are a group of high school students within the Seattle area seeking to spread awareness about the high homelessness population in Seattle.
In the Future:
We will continue to build and expand by working with multiple homeless shelters across the Seattle area. By working with shelters such as The Sophia way, Congregation for the Homeless as well as food banks like Renewal food bank, we hope to take steps towards achieving our goal of motivating those those who are in search of homes.
