In the past four years, homelessness has increased by 53 percent in Franklin County. Each year, more of our neighbors struggle to find a safe place to sleep. These aren’t just numbers, they are our neighbors- grandparents, children, families.  

Community group Heer to Serve is a mutual aid group that serves necessary, and emergency items to those who are unsheltered. Heer to Serve and others are responding to this crisis which is closer than you may realize, offering meals, survival supplies, clothes, showers and other basic needs. When you donate to a community based organization you’re not donating to charity, you’re making an investment into people, stability. You’re making an investment in a future where no one has to sleep on the streets.

The solutions start with us. Invest in hope by investing in community. Consider donating today!
