To promote social change and defend human dignity by assisting the homeless with food, clothing, hygiene products and vocational training.
Dare to Care for the Homeless started as a church group at St. Athanasius Catholic Church in North Long Beach. Before its incorporation in 2009, it consisted of a group of about 80 youth leaders and 20 adults that took food to the homeless at skid row once a week. Skid row is in area in Downtown Los Angeles with a homeless population of approximately 10,000 people.
After 2009, Dare to Care for the Homeless did public charity events such as food drives. Other public charity events such as concerts to help raise awareness about the work of Dare to Care for the Homeless form part of our history.
Our charity events help create community by getting neighbors to know each other while volunteering for a worthwhile cause. The support of the local community is greatly appreciated by the less fortunate.
Dare to Care for the Homeless provides virtual volunteer opportunities for people anywhere in the world. Song writers, music professionals, voice over talent, accountants, lawyers and business leaders form part of our international alliance.
Due to a great need for Bras and underpants for the woman at the shelter Dare to Care for the Homeless developed a new campaign to collect bras and underpants named "Bras to Help the Cause".
In 2019, Dare to Care for the Homeless plans to continue to grow both domestically and internationally. We are looking for more people that are passionate about giving back and serving people experiencing homelessness.
