the project
WALLS OF LOVE collects and distributes warm weather gear and daily necessary toiletries to the homeless and those in need. We distribute the items by installing "walls" with the items in plastic bags and secured to a fence.
the steps
1-IDENTIFY AREA OF NEED
2-FUNDRAISE
3- OBTAIN PERMISSION TO PLACE WALL (IF A PRIVATE BUSINESS)
4- COLLECT DONATIONS/MONIES
5- SHOP
6- BAG/LABEL ITEMS
7- PUT UP WALLS WHERE NEEDED
8- CLEAN UP
why we're doing it
I WAS ONCE HOMELESS DUE TO A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATION AND I ALMOST DIED. SINCE I WAS EMPLOYED, MANY PLACES WOULDN’T HELP ME. I WAS MORTIFIED AT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH AND THEN WAS TOLD NO. I FELT AWFUL. I NEVER WANT ANYONE TO FEEL LIKE THAT-EVER. THERE ARE MANY STIGMAS THAT GO ALONG WITH HAVING A NEED, AND THESE WALLS PROVIDE FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE TO AFRAID OR TOO ASHAMED TO ASK.
WHAT STARTED OFF AS 1 WALL AND LABOR OF LOVE HAS EVOLVED INTO 52. TO DATE, I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF COLLABORATING TO ASSIST 6111 PEOPLE SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2018. I WANT TO KEEP GOING, AND ONE DAY I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE A NATIONWIDE MOVEMENT!
