Help Eliminate Homelessness
Created by a group of high schoolers, Help the Homeless is a 501c(3) nonprofit that aims to eliminate one of the biggest societal issues in our world and hold events in which we use donations to give out supplies to the homeless bi-weekly and every donation helps.
Our plan:
Every two weeks, our team will set up a stand in downtown Dallas so that we can hand out used clothes and meals to those in need. All donations will be given out evenly to the homeless as well. We plan to share the stories of those comfortable with it on social media in order to increase awareness and raise donations.
What do we do?
-
Awareness
Through common social media platforms such as Tik Tok and Instagram, we plan to spread the word using content from events that we hold to show the how the work we are doing is being used to cause a difference and how the people watching them can help contribute to the people they see in the social media posts.
-
Donations
We are a nonprofit team and any money donated will be handed out to the homeless people in the Dallas (we plan to expand in the future) area and to buy more supplies to give out. Donations will mostly be raised through awareness from social media and any good samaritans who would like to donate on our website but we value you your time for even visiting our website :)
-
Impact
Every penny counts. Even as little as a dollar donation contributes to make a lifetime impact on homeless lives. We want to get them back on their feet and give them a new sense of hope. With the supplies handed out, we hope to ease their struggles to the best of our capabilities and give them something to look forward to.
FAQ
How are your events structured?
Each weekend, we set up a tent in Downtown Dallas with tables that consist of all the items we plan to hand out. We set up in a common place so homeless people can easily find us. For any remaining goods, we plan to drive around to find homeless people to give them too or if they are non perishable, then we will bring them for our next event.
How many people run the events?
Currently we have 4 people running each event which consists of everyone of our members. We hope to expand soon and have multiple events simultaneously with more people and volunteers.
How can I help?
All donations go towards buying items that we give out during our bi-weekly events. The money will also sometimes be directly handed out to the homeless. If you are close to Dallas and would like to help by donating goods, please contact helpthehomelessdtx@gmail.com
