Homelessness is a global wide problem that increases year to year due to inflation and a growing population. In just the US alone, over 500,000 people have no place to sleep at night. This makes it harder for people without homes to live happy and stable lives.

We recently hosted our annual food drive for those who are struggling to afford food for themselves and their families

# data[].attributes.body
To achieve our mission and help grow our project, we plan on doing three things:

1. Provide emergency shelters to over 5,000 homeless individuals a year

2. Link out of work individuals with local job markets and programs in their area

3. Strive for policy change with local government by making housing more affordable

# data[].attributes.body
We plan to reach our goals by continuously sending out vans that offer food and emergency shelter for those who need it. To help with people with more long-term needs such as securing jobs and homes, we will connect them with job markets and employers. To help make change within governments, we will set up awareness events and start local petitions to help grow awareness on our cause and mission

Our mission and goals are structured to help those who are without a home and those who struggle to live a standard life due to financial restraint. With our food drives and community outreach, we hope to give these people the opportunity to live the lives they see others living.

The Rooted Refuge Project shows our solidarity and core Christian values by standing with the homeless and needy. We do not look at their struggles as problems, rather roadblocks in their path to a stronger relationship with God. The values that our organization represents is compassion and justice for the needy. We try to be like Jesus, who was always making sure nobody was left behind or was unequal, a key belief for us.
