Necessities in the U.S.

Families in the United States are falling through the cracks.

Your gift delivers essentials like brand-new clothing, blankets, personal care items — even toys. And thanks to generous donations from clothing manufacturers, your gift will multiply 15 times in impact.

One in five children in the United States lives in a family struggling with poverty. As safety networks fray, World Vision and its community partners are working tirelessly to help ensure children and families in the United States receive the basics they need to get back on their feet.

Your donation will help deliver top-quality donated products to struggling families and single mothers like Mary. To escape her violent and abusive husband, Mary fled with her three children and sought refuge at a World Vision-supported homeless shelter.

At the shelter, Mary and her children received medical supplies, hygiene products, and more, donated through World Vision. “I feel special,” said Mary when she received these basics. “I feel appreciated.”

Mary’s son also receives play therapy at the shelter, using arts and craft supplies donated through World Vision. The therapy is especially important, since Mary’s son has been diagnosed with autism.

In response to the help she’s received, Mary is reaching out to others in need by volunteering at a nearby soup kitchen. “I like to help,” she says. “I like to give back.” Her efforts prove that despite the homelessness and abuse she’s faced, this single mother has found the courage to begin putting her life back together.

You can help more hardworking families like Mary’s with your gift today!

Monthly giving: the simple way to make your donations do more. Give to Poverty in America.

Monthly giving is the most effective way to help the children and families who need it most. It lowers costs and puts more of your money to work changing lives. Plus, your donations will be delivering the right solution at just the right time. And while your gifts are at work changing lives, you’ll get to see the power of your generosity through quarterly updates and the World Vision magazine.
