Fundraiser for Homeless

Comment Up

Here's a group doing something for the Homeless:

  • Fri, Apr 15, 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM
  • Fred Astaire
    Fred Astaire Dance Studio Boynton Beach, Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach, FL
  • To all our generous friends:

    A little bit of love goes a long way! Spend the night with us for a special event that will benefit our local homeless community. Refreshments and food will be served. Please RSVP by April 1st so we can get an accurate head count and plan accordingly.

    100% of proceeds and services will be tax-deductible donations to South Florida Sanctuary, homeless 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. So come join us and step back into the roaring 20’s for a little music and a little dancing. We look forward to seeing you all in your 20’s gear (optional of course). Make sure you also bring your appetite as there will be plenty of food.

    If you want to do some spring cleaning through your closets and garages, you can load up some bags and bring them to the event. We will have pickup trucks and trailers on the premises. Here is a list of items that are greatly needed for our homeless friends:

    • Men’s shorts and pants (any size but mostly sizes 30-34)
    • Men’s sneakers with good soles (all sizes)
    • Men’s shirts (short or long sleeve but no button downs)
    • Adult backpacks
    • Adult Bicycles
    • Men’s belts and hats
    • Tents, sleeping bags, and other camping gear

    Entry $25 through paypal or at the door.
    Any additional donation will be greatly appreciated!
    You may also donate an item/service that will be entered into a raffle. If you are interested in learning more about how you can help beyond the event, or if you cannot attend the event but wish to donate, please visit our website, or contact us at (561) 301-8319, or email/paypal us at southfloridasanctuary@gmail.com.

Who are the principals behind this organization? And why all men's stuff - no women's stuff on your list? What are the women to do? Is there a different group that advocates for homeless women?

My only guess is that there are many more men who are homeless than are women and they have run low on clothing, etc. for men. They are only asking what they NEED, not want they might want altogether.
