Did you know that
there are more homeless people right now than at any other time in
America or that more than 1.3 million of them are children?
3 out of ever 10 homeless adults admit to a history in foster care
and with 25,000 youth aging out of foster care each year, the next wave
of homeless in America will surely comprise of orphans who were never
adopted.
If you care about foster care, adoption, homelessness, children, families or the future of our country, you should participate!
Event Description:
More than 30 Pulitzer-prize winners along with some of the most
recognized names in photography have come together to put a "face" on
homelessness while asking you, the public, to put a "face" on activism
by doing 1 thing to help them.
We believe that if everyone did 1 thing on 1 day to help 1 cause, great change would come.
The issues surrounding homeless are gigantic. The answers overwhelming. But what if every did 1 thing to help?
JOIN US in doing 1 thing on the day Americans spend more than 14
billion dollars telling each other how much they care, do 1thing to
help someone less fortunate than yourselves.
