ABOUT
Through an all volunteer effort, People for the Poor, Inc., manages and organizes fundraisers whose proceeds go to organizations helping individuals have food to eat and a place to sleep.
DONATE
100% of your donations help the homeless and hungry of South Jersey. People for the Poor is always looking for contributions of any kind, including raffle prize donations for our upcoming events.
If life’s been good to you, kindly consider helping those who will not enjoy a “new normal” because their daily existences have never reflected the luxury of normal.
Dear Friend,
I hope this letter finds you well. It has been a tough few months for all Americans as COVID-19 is creating a health and economic crises in America and throughout the world.
Slowly, cautiously, we inch our way to some semblance economic stability.
But unlike businesses that can pass on increased costs for its products and services to its customers, shelters and soup kitchens cannot recoup monies spent on health and safety precautions for its staff and those they serve.
Unfortunately, this virus compelled People for the Poor to cancel all its fundraisers for 2020. Gone are the proceeds from these events, roughly $65,000 annually. These proceeds allow us to support South Jersey’s homeless shelters and soup kitchens deliver necessary services, housing and programs.
If in the past you have enjoyed our annual Golf Outings, Designer Bag Bingos and Beef & Beers, please consider donating a portion of what you may have spent to support our cause.
If life’s been good to you, kindly consider helping those who will not enjoy a “new normal” because their daily existences have never reflected the luxury of normal.
It’s too soon to determine the ultimate impact of COVID-19 but your generosity will go a long way today. Every dollar you can give will help someone that has nothing.
100% of all proceeds directly benefit South Jersey’s homeless shelters and soup kitchens.
Thank you.
People for the Poor
