Houses of Change is a fun, innovative way to raise awareness of homelessness and provide funds to help homeless families. It offers congregations, schools and other organizations a “teachable moment” regarding the causes and effects of homelessness -- and provides a hands- on opportunity for participants to make a difference.
Houses for Change answers the question, “What can I do to help end homelessness?” Using magic markers, crayons, collage materials and their imagination, children decorate plain boxes to look like a house. Participants take their boxes home and in the following weeks fill them with loose change. At a selected date, for example Thanksgiving, Easter, the end of the year or end of the school year, families bring their filled boxes back to the participating organization for a communal donation to Family Promise, or a local homeless organization or both.
This is not only a fundraiser. Houses for Change is an opportunity to teach children about homelessness and the value of charitable giving. It can be incorporated in fundraising events, holiday activities, educational programs and days of community service. It provides local news media with a human interest story – kids helping homeless kids.
Houses for Change is sponsored by Family Promise, a national nonprofit organization that mobilizes communities to help homeless and low-income families.
Everything needed to organize Houses for Change is available at [link removed]
On the website are instructions; educational materials such as age-appropriate teaching guides and a homelessness fact sheet; a link to order the DVD Our Families, Our Future about helping homeless families; and an online store to order the undecorated boxes. There are also links to Facebook and Twitter to share your photos, videos, experience and news stories with others.
The undecorated boxes are shipped in cartons of 25 Houses for Change boxes (for $43.65 including shipping) and in cartons of 100 boxes (for $117.95 including shipping).
If you have any questions about Houses for Change, please contact Chris Kaul, Marketing and Public Relations Consultant, at [email removed].
Or contact Mark Wasserman who conceived of Houses for Change and brought it to fruition at (561) 699-5116 or [email removed]
Please join in this nationwide initiative that brings children and adults together on this issue so close to all of our hearts.
Sincerely,
Karen Olson President Family Promise
