Creative Giving
Helping to end homelessness can be a fun and creative venture! By using your talents and interests, you can create your own unique and meaningful ways to support the Alliance. If you have questions or would like assistance and/or feedback regarding your creative giving idea, please contact Beth Roche at eroche@naeh.org or 202-942-8286.
SPORTING EVENTS
Run, bike, swim or paddle for the National Alliance to End Homelessness by having your friends and family support you for each lap/mile.
Organize a tournament such as kickball, softball, football, basketball, soccer, ultimate Frisbee, golf, or bowling and have the entry fees benefit the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
BOOK CLUBS
Read a book that highlights the issue of homelessness and set a fundraising goal for your group to meet. Some recent releases are Breakfast at Sally’s and The Soloist. If you would like talking points or additional information to share with your book club please contact Beth Roche.
COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
Auctions, concerts, film festivals, yard sales, car washes, lemonade stands and bake sales are all great ways to raise awareness and funds for the Alliance. You can also host an event not listed that allows you to use your own gifts to raise money and awareness.
