Sometimes Just Walking Makes a Difference

You are invited to support a massive community mobilization including teams of Greater Victoria businesses, community groups and families in taking part in Coldest Night of the Year Walkathon on Feb. 25 2023. The event raises awareness and funds for charities serving hungry, homeless, and hurting people.

Volunteers help at the hot chocolate station, cheer on walkers, walk themselves, act as parade marshalls, serve hot chili and welcome walkers back from their 2 km or 5 km. walks. Some folks walk in their own neighbourhoods.

Please support Our Place that opens its doors at various locations to help vulnerable people in need receive shelter, daily hot meals and hope and belonging! See CNOIY 2023 at www.ourplacesociety.com or StevenS@ourplacesociety.com or call 250-940-5064.

Want to give back, but just can't seem to leave the office? We can help! We want to make our volunteer experiences as fun for you as they are beneficial to our residents!!

Essentials such as hygiene, school supplies and groceries can be routine items we ensure that we have at our finger tips. However, those "essentials" aren't always easily obtainable for individuals experiencing homelessness. Residents arriving to or exiting from UMOM programs often find it hard to afford essentials like cleaning supplies. This is where you can help!

If you are stuck in the office but still want to get involved, the best way to do this is by hosting a drive with your coworkers. Create a box (or bin) that your coworkers can use to drop off supplies. Send out an email to your department or company and tell them where they can locate drop-off stations and which items you need.

UMOM would greatly accept help in collecting (new) cleaning supplies/items such as:
-mops
-brooms and dustpans
-cleaning products for kitchens & bathrooms
-disinfecting wipes
-shower curtains
-cleaning gloves
-toilet brushes
-buckets
-microfiber clothes
-sponges

For more information or to discuss other ideas, please contact Berkley Harris at bharris@umom.org.

Thank you for considering UMOM!! We look forward to working with you soon!

There are thousands of children living in the Greater Philadelphia area who don't have beds of their own. They might be sleeping on the floor, on sofas, or crowded into bed with siblings, parents, or even grandparents. Uncomfortable sleeping arrangements like these can prevent children from sleeping well. And if they're not sleeping well, they are more likely to have health issues and not do as well in school. One House at a Time partners with social service agencies across the region who refer families in need to us. Each child receives a twin sized mattress, a bed frame, a pillow, a sheet set, a blanket, a toothbrush, and some books. Help these children get a good nights sleep by delivering beds with us on Saturday, October 6th from 8am-11:30am. We need 4 lifters to help load up our Beds for Kids truck in Huntingdon Valley and travel as a group for 4-7 homes in the greater Philadelphia region to deliver them. You will get to meet the families and engage with the children.
