On November 18, CISM will host one of its most important annual traditions, Homeless to Hopeful. This impactful initiative connects young adults (18-24) experiencing or at risk of homelessness with essential items, resources, and direct support.

Thanks to our community partners and generous donors, we’ve been able to help hundreds of people through Homeless to Hopeful, which takes place every November during National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week.

Whether you are able to purchase one item, fulfill multiple needs, or share our wishlist with your network, your support helps us show young people that they have a community behind them.

Our giving website makes it simple to purchase needed items directly for the event. We’re currently collecting:

• Hygiene Essentials: Toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, hand sanitizer, wipes, etc.
• Cold Weather Essentials: Hats, gloves, thermal and regular socks, hand and body warmers, emergency blankets, etc.
• Additional Needs: Fleece blankets and new/gently used coats
• Financial donations can also be made using the blue link at the bottom of this page to help CISM provide additional support and resources.
