The purpose of this two day event is to spread awareness of this issue of homelessness and to encourage folks to get involved and develop a deeper understanding surrounding poverty in our country and throughout the world. This will be a great opportunity to connect with local organizations focused on anti-poverty work and supporting low-income folks in our community. We are collecting monetary donations as well as donations of books, jackets, gloves, hats, clothing, tarps and tents for our local homeless population. Due to the recent tragedy in Haiti, Hip Hop 4 the Homeless will also be collecting donations to be sent to the homeless survivors of Haiti’s tragic earthquake.
