March Cause Area
Homelessness

On any given night in the United States, more than half a million people experience homelessness. This includes single adults, families, children, and teens. At Pebble Tossers, we partner with several nonprofits that work tirelessly to address the challenges of affordable housing while providing food, clothing and needed assistance. Our partnership with these organizations and our volunteer efforts work to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness in our community.

A few of our partners that work with neighbors experiencing homelessness include Agape Way, Covenant House Georgia, Furnish With Love, Partners for HOME, and Safehouse Outreach

  • Create Period Packs

    Menstrual hygiene products are necessities for females but are not available in many schools, shelters, and emerging communities to women and girls in need. The Period Project not only provides menstrual hygiene products to those in need but also educates communities on the global problem of lack of access to menstrual hygiene.

  • Prepare a Meal for Youth at Covenant House

    Covenant House Georgia is more than a shelter. They provide more than a bed and a meal for youth experiencing homelessness and escaping trafficking; they show unconditional love and give comprehensive support so that their youth can and will realize their fullest potential.

    How can you help? Covenant House is in need of volunteers to prepare and share a meal every day of the week. This is a wonderful opportunity for families, corporate groups, church groups, and individuals to impact the lives of homeless youth.

    57% percent of homeless youth spend at least one day a month without food, so even a simple meal can begin the healing process for a young person.

    Pebble Tossers Group Opportunity Coming Soon!

    NOTE: On-campus visits are for volunteers ages 18+ only. Youth volunteers are welcome to participate in meal prep if done at home.
