Homeless woman on the street
Homelessness is a major problem, particularly in urban cities across America. Homeless people often suffer from mental illness as a result of years on the street, or as a factor which drove them to the street. Drug use and alcohol use is frequent. Through Charlie’s Place, a homeless feeding and support center in Washington DC, we have helped individuals move towards greater stability by connecting them with employment opportunities, mental health support, essential paperwork, and other services they may need. Social Justice Global also directly supports bridge housing for individuals who come to us through Charlie’s Place or Miriam’s Kitchen in Washington DC.
Donation of funds direct to Charlie’s Place to support their feeding program is also possible. Please visit https://www.charliesplacedc.org/ We continue to work with them and know firsthand that they do a great job supporting Washington DC’s homeless population.
