The 10th of October marks World Homeless Day and it’s a chance for the global community to acknowledge those experiencing homelessness.
World Homeless Day draws attention to homeless people’s needs locally, and internationally and provides opportunities for the communities to get involved in responding to homelessness.
Here are some ways you can show your support and solidarity for those experiencing homelessness:
- Educate people about homeless issues
- Celebrate and support those helping to end homelessness
- Highlight local issues in the media
- Donate to non-profits and service providers
- Volunteer
- Invite a guest speaker to your workplace or school
- Host a fundraiser
- Share about #WorldHomelessDay on social media
Every single young person deserves unconditional love, absolute respect, and to be supported relentlessly. It is an honour to stand with young people who are experiencing homelessness and to be part of a community working to end youth homelessness.
