PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU CONTACT US:

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.

In fact, we’ve left more than $44 billion on the table, in the form of unused gift cards, and an additional $2 billion every year.
“People are letting cash slip away that they could be using FOR THE GREATER GOOD!

40% of gift card recipients do not use the total value of the card.
American households have an average of $300 in unused gift cards.

Please support Homeless To Independence Inc. with the change you have left on those gift cards…

HOMELESS TO INDEPENDENCE INC.’S PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Homeless To Independence Inc. is an extremely active 19-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 canned 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 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 28^th, 2025 our 19^th Annual Multi-State Winter Outerwear Drive ended, and we served well over 30K people in 5-States with winter outerwear items.  On October 1^st, 2025, we will start our 20^th Annual Multi-State Winter Outerwear Drive.  This will run through the last day of February 2026, 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, and bedding as needed.

• Food product recalls as they arise;
• Housing upcoming open wait list and additional housing opportunities as they arise and/or are sent to me;
• Employment opportunities as I see them on the road and/or are sent to me;
• Inspirational quotes for employment, recovery, and the like;
• Veteran events;
• Incoming storm information, emergency preparedness and disaster response information;
• Information on fun events/things to do.

The door is always open. The house is safe. Coffee can be on in minutes, and the kitchen bench is a place of peace and non-judgment. Anyone who needs to chat is welcome anytime. Never suffer in silence. I have food in the fridge, coffee and tea in the cupboard, listening ears, a shoulder to cry on and prayer to share. I will always be available and you are always welcome!

This is an old value that has been lost to technology. A text, face-time, or emoji is not the equivalent of making time for those we love or care about!
