About:
Project 12.31 collaborates with community organizations to conduct street outreach and distribute Dignity Bags, which contain high-quality hygiene kits and essential resources. Throughout the year, Project 12.31 hosts “Packing Parties” to assemble these bags and educate participants about the various causes of homelessness and ways to offer practical, sustainable support. They also organize “free stores” that provide unhoused individuals with clothing, food, and opportunities for relationship-building.
Mission
Project 12.31 seeks to educate, equip, and empower every human on their journey to radical kindness, intentional connection, extreme generosity, and active compassion. Project 12.31 does this through various projects that focus on social issues affecting our world.
Our Partnership
Mobilizing Volunteers
Project 12.31 is volunteer led and mobilizes individuals and groups to participate in several of their community and street outreaches.
Creativity From Our Volunteers
Project 12.31 envisions creating a thrift store run by unhoused individuals, offering them a space to explore and develop their passions, skills, and hobbies, while also building the social and emotional competencies needed for reintegration into society.
