About This Cause
Where Are You Outreach has been serving the homeless community for over 10 years, providing vital resources, support, and hope to those who need it most. Over the years, our organization has achieved numerous accomplishments, all made possible through the generosity and support of individuals and organizations like yours. Some of our notable accomplishments include: 1. Emergency Shelter Services: We have provided safe and warm shelter to hundreds of homeless individuals during harsh weather conditions, ensuring they have a refuge from the elements by partnering with local city officials, churches, and shelters. 2. Nutritional Support Programs: Through partnerships with local food banks and community organizations, we have distributed over fifty thousand meals to homeless individuals, addressing their immediate hunger needs. 3. Job Training and Placement: Our job training teams have empowered numerous homeless individuals to gain valuable skills and secure employment, helping them break the cycle of homelessness. 4. Mental Health and Addiction Counseling: We have coordinated counseling services to address the mental health and addiction challenges faced by many homeless individuals, guiding them towards a path of recovery and stability. 5. Community Outreach and Education: Through outreach events, expos, and educational workshops, we have raised awareness about homelessness and advocated for systemic changes to address its root causes. While we are proud of our achievements, there is still much work to be done. One of our primary goals is to secure a permanent building that will serve as a comprehensive resource center for the homeless community. This facility will provide a wide range of essential services, including shelter, meals, healthcare, job training, counseling, and more, all under one roof. To accomplish this goal and continue our mission of serving those in need, we are seeking financial support from compassionate donors and grantors like you. Your investment in Where Are You Outreach will not only fund essential resources and programs but will also contribute to the creation of a lasting impact on the lives of homeless individuals in our community. Monetary donations would enable us to innovate further by increasing our distribution of the Heart in Hand Bags. During our monthly events, we ask our clients to provide new ideas for the Heart in Hand Bags. Within our research, along with other vital items, we would enhance our bags by adding bus passes, flashlights, resource directories, waterproof gloves, rain ponchos, disposable wipes, baseball caps, microfiber towels and hair products just to name a few. The funds will allow us to improve more lives by funding additional 1,500 Heart in Hand Bags filled with 1,000s of items to reach more people and improve more lives. We will continue to distribute these bags at our monthly events. Our annual Homeless Expo provides free services to the homeless and economically disadvantaged individuals. In February 2019, we held our Inaugural Homeless Expo with over 200,000 square feet donated Exhibit Hall space at The Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center. We collaborated with the City of Dallas and we were able to serve over 500 families (over 2,000 people). In the last two years, we have served over 1,300 families in the 4.5 hour event and collaborated with over 300 organizations to offer free resources. The Expo offers the following services at no cost to individuals and families: HIV testing, blood pressure screening, vision assessment, dental cleaning, mental health evaluation, licensed barbers and cosmetologists, housing and transportation assistance programs, and job skills and employment training. In addition, the Expo included professional speakers to discuss mental health, fitness, words of encouragement, warm meals, clothing items, health, and hygiene products. The monetary donations we receive assist us in providing the best experience with pheomcellent resources.
