Millions of Americans are struggling to meet their most basic needs. In 2024, 44 million people lived in food‑insecure households — the highest number recorded in more than a decade. Families with children were hit hardest, with food insecurity rising to 17% nationwide. At the same time, over 800,000 Americans experienced homelessness, including a record number of families pushed into shelters or living in unstable conditions. Cuts to federal assistance programs have widened the gap, leaving food banks and shelters overwhelmed as demand surges.

Through Alternative Gifts International, this cause provides food, shelter, clothing, and essential hygiene items to people fighting to regain stability. Your gift ensures families have what every human deserves: safety, nourishment, and dignity. Your generosity becomes the lifeline that helps them rebuild.
