Our Story
Our mission is to provide for the welfare and support to Berkeley’s homeless men and women – beginning with the basic need for food. Consider the Homeless! strives to warm the bellies and the hearts of these individuals by offering a hearty meal, a friendly greeting, and a smile. We are not in the pursuit of any ulterior agendas, but rather we seek to gain the trust and utmost respect of the homeless men and women of Berkeley, while honoring their privacy. Our goal is to use our knowledge of “life on the streets” gained from frequent and consistent observations made by our volunteer advocates, drivers and servers to inform and educate public policy makers and public servants who work with the local homeless population. CTH! aims through our advocacy and educational work, to influence decision makers and housed citizens that have biased views on who is out there and why...
We need to help them see the reality of America's Economic Refugees
We try to keep well stocked with basic supplies to offer our sisters and brothers on the streets, such as blankets, warm clothes, coats and jackets, boots/shoes, socks and clean underwear. We have no agenda nor affiliations other than to serve Berkeley’s homeless with dignity and respect. Unlike most other services for the homeless we do not expect them to come to us. We deliver dinner and supplies to whomever needs them by driving slowly around Berkeley and calling out to those huddled in doorways, on sidewalks and in parks – “Sir/Ma’am, would you like some hot homemade soup?”
Our vision for the future includes:
• A cadre of loyal and passionate volunteers to share the love
• The skill and know how to offer one-to-one advocacy to those who request it and accompany them through the bureaucratic maze that stands between a street person and a permanent and safe place to sleep at night when and if they request that assistance
We see Consider The Homeless to be a template for others to duplicate a different way of working with the homeless on the streets We do not expect them to come to us, we visit them in their space.
Consider The Homeless! is recognized as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue code. Contributions are deductible to the extent allowed by law.
