A project led by Queens Youth Volunteer Community to provide summer relief for the homeless

We spent a few hours producing and decorating amazing encouragement cards for the homeless, wishing them all the best and to keep having hope! In their current situations, we can imagine that things may look hopeless but with so many support from not just us but other nonprofits and groups, I'm sure things will get better for them.

First and foremost, heavy thanks to Griptape! Without their support, this project wouldn't have been that successful. Nor would we be able to reach out and help so many people.Thanks to all the shelters that have enabled us the opportunity to help more people.Lastly, thank you to all the volunteers for dedicating time and effort into this project. Without your support, we wouldn't be able to complete this project by the end of the summer.Mentions:
