Bake Sales, Coat Drives, and more

The possibilities for making a difference in the life of homeless kids are limitless. Big or small, every action counts, and every effort you make shows the kids that someone really does care.

Here are just a few ways you can make a difference... and you can come up with ideas of your own as well!

• Host a bake sale for homeless kids — bake cookies, pies, cakes, and brownies with your own kids while explaining to them that some kids don't have a warm bed in a safe home. Help your kids see that they can help homeless kids in your community.
• Hold a coat or blanket drive — for so many of our kids, being warm in the winter is a luxury that most of us take for granted. By helping us warm kid's bodies, we begin to warm their souls.
• Have family and friends donate "gently used" professional clothing — it is vital that our kids look the best they can when going on job interviews... and the right outfit can go a long way to help boost once-homeless kids' self-confidence and make a positive first impression!
• Hold a "Sole Searching" drive — collect dress, casual and athletic shoes for homeless kids in your community. Like your children, grandchildren, nephews, and nieces, our kids outgrow their shoes at an alarming rate. You can help dress homeless kids for success.
