Ways To Get Involved
Giving back to your community is a win-win. Not only are you supporting local initiatives and organizations, but you’re also forging connections with those in need and showing them you care. Donating your time, goods or financial resources is a simple yet impactful way to give our community the tools it needs to make a difference. There is no shortage in ways you can get involved. To help you get started, we’ve created a list of effective ways to get involved with Hearts for the Homeless® and in return, help the community.
