Feeding Hungry Homeless - Give a Gift - Alternative Gifts International

Feeding Hungry Homeless
USA & Canada

Worldwide, the UN Millennium Goals recognize that poverty and hunger are primary problems that must be solved before secondary issues can be addressed. Poverty is more than not having money; it is the constant feeling of being hungry. It is the harsh reality that there is no home to go to and the lack of respect from other individuals. It is fear, desperation, and the sense of worthlessness. The insecurity of being without basic food and housing is emotionally and physically debilitating. Every year thousands of families lose their homes in North America ending up on the streets, struggling to find a hot meal or a night’s shelter. In 2007 well over 37 million Americans lived below the poverty line. The media often depicts the homeless as unkempt and sleeping in parks, but children are among the most vulnerable to suffer in poverty from malnutrition.

From donations to this project, ALTERNATIVE GIFTS INTERNATIONAL (AGI) sends one-time grants to food pantries, soup kitchens and homeless shelters. Over the past 20 years, AGI has helped scores of facilities feed and shelter thousands of the hungry in the U.S. and Canada.
