Food scarcity is a reality for 18 million Americans,* and about 772,000 Americans also experienced homelessness in 2024**. All it takes is one major life event or job loss to put anyone living paycheck-to-paycheck, in a position of financial hardship. Government assistance programs are facing cuts and have left many more families and their children at risk of hunger and homelessness. The demands on food banks and homeless shelters is also increasing.
This cause, through Alternative Gifts International, provides necessities like food, shelter, clothing, and hygiene items to sustain people as they rebuild their lives. A gift to this program means families will have their basic needs met, which will lessen some of their burden. Photo credit Paulaquryahora-Pixabay
