I-HELP Picnic - NEW DATE!
Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP) Holds Annual Fundraiser
The I-HELP Picnic will be held on Sunday, April 25, 2010. Last year, we raised an incredible $20,000 for I-HELP and the homeless guests that we serve on a nightly basis. We would like to welcome the Tempe First Congregational Church as our newest host site - our goal is to have an "additional site for every night." We are asking for your sponsorship to support the program.
I-HELP is achieving results for Tempe's homeless! Last year, we served 273 unduplicated homeless individuals with 312 nights of safe housing. Our volunteers and congregations served 9,360 meals with an estimated in-kind value of $178,200 of donated meals and space. More importantly, by working with our guests, they met their goals to become self-sufficient...
*72 clients obtained vital documentation
*26 clients obtained government benefits
*71 clients obtained employment
*29 clients obtained housing
We truly appreciate your support for I-HELP. The program is funded solely by grants and donations from the community!
