Thank you for helping us to make a difference in the lives of the homeless. Our IRS DLN is 409182063 and our IRS public charity status is 170 (b) (1) (A) (vi).
Goodbye Hunger, a tax exempt public charity, seeks to feed and have a shelter and a service center to help reintegrate ex inmates and homeless veterans into society.
Who are the homeless?
Many homeless people work but their income is not sufficient to pay for an appartment, electricity, and other amenities. They get paid minimum wage or below.
We helped a homeless woman with gas for her car and provided her with appropriate clothes to seek a respectable job. She was able to secure a job, and is no longer on the street.
Some are unable to work because of mental illnesses.
Others are unable to work because of physical disabilities
We spoke with many who want different lives, but need coping skills
The truth about the homeless:
Most homeless people are not alcoholics, or drug addicts contrary to popular opinion.
Many have become homeless following job losses.
Many are veterans.
What makes us different from other homeless groups?
We seek for opportunities to collaborate with other homeless charities to better help the homeless in areas such as drug and alcohol recovery programs for those who are affected.
Our mission is to help reintegrate ex-inmates and homeless veterans to society.
We understand that we need to provide them with training and teaching them new skills to earn better wages.
We need a farm where at-risk youth will work to supply the food we need. This part of our mission is designed to attack the homelessness at its roots.
We are responsible, accountable and spiritually focused on carrying out our mission.
We are working with the Executive Service Corps of Houston (tp://www.ESCHouston.org) to develop strategies that will have the highest impact on our targeted groups.

Is not helping the homeless one of the harvests that Jesus referred to when He said : The harvest is plentiful, but few are the laborers? For this faith-based charity to reach out the lost, the least and the last amongst us, we need your support.
Matthew 25:36: I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me. Who is the 'me'? Our perception of the 'me' is what determines who we are helping? We need to get out of our comfort zone sometimes to clothe, feed and visit the 'me'. We provide you with a medium to reach out to the homeless. Pray for us, support us through food drives, fundraising, your presence on our board and other donations.
At GoodBye Hunger, we are privileged to participate in the fight against homelessness, hunger and poverty. We are thankful for the opportunity to impart before we depart this world.
