Sanctuary of Hope fund raising event begins March 2023. We are looking to raise $500,000.00 dollars and in turn will make application to receive matching funds from the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program run by Lake County Human Services and will be applying for US Grant monies.
The funds will also be used to purchase a piece of land for future development and housing. Sanctuary Of Hope will then obtain SSI government aid, enroll individuals in food stamps, provide emergency food vouchers, toiletries, clothing for the healthy and unhealthy. Our initial plan once reached will help the homeless receive a residence address to apply for benefits, without an address no benefits will be forth coming. Please join our effort to make a real change in the lives of those less fortunate.
Our Fund Raising Goals:
Once our goal is reached we will interview the homeless, assess their individual needs based on their willingness to work and or their overall health. We will then help the homeless obtain government services through using professional representation for the disabled and less fortunate. Connecting the disabled with SSI payments will be used to support housing for the disabled. The part time job for the healthy that are willing to work will help pay for the cost of temporary housing until more permanent housing can be built. We are determined to provide the homeless with permanent single family housing. Our short term goal after this fund raising event will be to purchase the land and place temporary housing by using recreational vehicles to meet the immediate needs and than eventually those RV’s will be replaced by small scaled affordable community of homes. This will be an amazing social revival starting right here in Lake County Illinois. Please Sponsor our vision, serve as a volunteer or create a fundraising event and get paid.
