Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Emergency Assistance, Homeless & Housing, Homeless Centers, Homeless Shelters, Human Services
Mission: 100% of all donations to Blankets For The Homeless are used to benefit our cause. No salaries, bonuses or benefits are ever paid to any director, officer, board member, or volunteer. Because we are an all volunteer organization you can be sure your donation is going to help. Surprisingly most people don't realize that many charitable donations they make never get to where they're needed or are simply frittered away by bureaucracy. For example, in 2004, Americans donated more than $248 billion to charities. Sadly, most of this money never got to those truly in need. Only 8 percent of that $248 billion directly benefited the poor. There's more bad news; federal support has shifted for the worse. Attention on the burgeoning federal budget has led to reduced budgets for social security and social programs benefiting the poor. Without private donations, these special services for our most vulnerable citizens will decline, or worse yet, disappear. This is why your donations are so important. When you donate to Blankets For The Homeless you can be sure your money is buying food, blankets and shelter for those most in need.
