DISCLAIMER

Homeless To Independence Inc. is a 501©3 non-profit organization. We are self supporting and we do NOT receive any government grant funding what-so-ever to pay bills for anyone in any situation. We do not give away money. We do not give out loans against any money.

This ministry is supported with generous financial donations that are used to help keep us functioning. Our purpose is to help supply individuals and families with personal needs such as food, toiletries, clothing, household items, furniture and baby/adult diapers/wipes both locally and to areas effected by disasters . At this time, we do not offer any shelter or transitional housing services. Again, we DO NOT pay any bills. We DO NOT pay any rents or mortgages.

If you are actually homeless, or about to be homeless or need emergency assistance of any kind, DIAL “211” from a land-line telephone. This will not work from a cell telephone. Tell the receiver your situation and what you need. They will give you information specific for the location you are currently in plus any referrals you may need. They have the most up to the minute information for your specific area. Dialing “211” will get you help and much more info than this office can provide. Homeless to Independence wants you to have all the information you need to get through the situation you are in.

Don’t have a land-line telephone??? Go to your local police department, library, or house of worship and ask to use their land-line telephone. They may even make the call on your behalf.

19^th Annual Multi-State Winter Outerwear Drive – 2024

Homeless To Independence Inc. starts it’s “19^th Annual Multi-State Winter Outerwear Drive on

Tuesday, October 1^st, 2024, to help those in need, such as single mothers and fathers and the elderly who are having a hard time making ends meet.

This project is specifically for the States and Commonwealths of Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Northern Maryland.  All items collected will be distributed within the County they are collected within through various street ministries, soup kitchens and additional agencies.  Last year for our 18^th Annual Multi-State Winter Outerwear Drive” we collected and distributed over 24,000 items including emergency sleeping bags.  Everything we collect is always given away for free – we do not sell one single item designated for this collection.

These are the sizes that will be needed for our 2024/2025 Winter Season:

• MENS – ALL SIZES INCLUDING XL, XXL, XXXL AND 4XL
• WOMENS – ALL SIZES INCLUDING XL, XXL, XXXL
• INFANTS AND CHILDRENS ALL SIZES

New and/or gently used items (without holes, tears, stained)

• COATS, JACKETS
• SWEATERS
• HATS, GLOVES, MITTENS
• SCARVES
• SOCKS
• BOOTS, GOULASHES
• BLANKETS AND COMFORTERS
• SLEEPING BAGS
• THERMAL TOPS AND BOTTOMS
• CURTAINS AND DRAPES (MUST BE PRECLEANED!)

Partner with us! THERE ARE SIX (6) WAYS THIS YEAR!

 

1.  Donate items.  We will be more than happy to provide a T-24 Tax receipt for your tax records.  Appointments for pickups are made 2-3 weeks in advance. Pickups will be done on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in most cases.  Additional dates and times will be based on our volunteer’s personal schedule.
2. Set up a drop box at your business for your employees and customers/clients to drop off needed items.  Again, we will be happy to provide a T-24 tax receipt for their tax records.
3. Set up your group or organization to collect needed items as a community service project
4. Set up your location as a site to give away needed winter clothing – Houses or worship and Street Ministries that give out clothing are more than welcome to these items.

ONLY AND I MEAN ONLY IF YOU GIVE THE CLOTHING AWAY FOR FREE!

1. Volunteer to help pickup and deliver the donated items within your area and deliver within your area also.  Volunteers are needed in all 5-States.
2. Make a financial contribution to help with the cost of gas and tolls!

Homeless To Independence Inc. is an extremely active 18-year-old, all-volunteer, non-profit.  We work with the homeless, the working poor, our veterans and their families, and anyone in need due to natural or manmade disasters nationwide and our territories. 

With the homeless, we:

• work daily as a need arises assisting them with information to get them into shelters, food, identification, – pointing them in the right direction.
• Pass out donated coats, hats, gloves, scarves, warm clothing especially during the cold weather months;
• Tent cities: we assist with donated tents, camping supplies for cooking, hygiene items, laundry items, blankets, pillows, socks, clothing, sleeping bags, manual can openers, trash bags to gather their trash, zip lock bags (for their important papers) and non-perishable can foods.  We especially pay attention to times when there is excessive rain and help to provide fresh blankets and such, because their items do get wet.

With the working poor, veterans, and their families, we: 

• establish relationships with various realtors and private landlords, working with both sides of the fence attempting to successfully bring about a meeting of the minds, with a fair rental package for both the renter and prospective landlord;
• Pass on food and food packages as donated, sometimes perishable during the holidays;
• Pass out donated coats, hats, gloves, scarves, warm clothing especially during the cold weather months;
• Much of our outreach is with tent cities that do house a high percentage of our service veterans.

With those of natural disasters and manmade disasters we:

• Prior to a foreseen event such as an incoming tropical storm, hurricane, extreme tornado producing thunderstorms and tornado alerts, tsunami alerts, and the like, we post everything to all our social media venues in real time (all social media venues are listed below);
• work reverently with all the realtors and private landlords asking for them to agree to accept payment from disaster response teams for a period of time to get their housing back in order.
• Homeless To Independence Inc. does send items to disaster harmed area on a needed basis and are not limited to baby diapers, baby wipes, baby formula, cleaning up supplies, seniors need items such as diabetic socks and more.

PLEASE NOTE:  HOMELESS TO INDEPENDENCE, INC. DOES HAVE AN “EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND DISASTER RESPONSE” PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE FOR EACH STATE/COMMONWEALTH & TERRITORY.

Homeless To Independence Inc. is dedicated to helping families and individuals with items of need such as furniture within the State of New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New York, northern Maryland, and Delaware.  There is currently a closed waiting list because the need is so severe.  We do not pass on broken, ripped, smelly, dirty, or buggy items – in fact we do NOT take items in those conditions.

On February 29^th, 2024 we ended our 18^th Annual Multi-State Winter Outerwear Drive and we served well over 30K people in 5-States with winter outerwear items.  On October 1^st, 2024, we will start our 19^th Annual Multi-State Winter Outerwear Drive.  This will run through the last day of February 2025, however, if there is still a need into March, we continue.  We collaborate with various entities, such as tent cities, homeless organizations, meal services, elementary school social workers, domestic violence shelters, etc. in passing these items out.

• All clothing items collected are sorted warm weather and cold weather.  All off-season clothing is packed in totes and stored for the upcoming season.
• We do have a washer and dryer used for freshening up clothing, towels, bedding as needed.
