Safe Shelter During Times of Crisis

Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger

Help victims of poverty find safe shelter.
Today, 30% of America’s homeless populations are families with children. According to the Alliance to End Homelessness, more than 3.5 million people will experience homelessness this year—one million will be children. These families and children are often in poor health, and have more difficulties in school or keeping a job. The insecurity of being without basic shelter is emotionally and physically debilitating. Many homeless students are at-risk of dropping out. Some homeless adults have jobs but cannot keep up.

Many agencies that provide shelter for people with no home to claim do more than provide a bed and a meal. They also supply medical care, clothing and safety! In addition, they generously give compassion—supportive services of counseling, after-school childcare and tutoring—so parents can do what they can to prepare for some permanency in their lives. Job training, household budgeting classes and pastoral care are also part of the ‘package’ of helping hands in most shelters.

AGI chooses at least 10 shelters in various parts of the US each year to receive grants from donations to this project.
