Our Impact
Community Engagement
In addition to our building and remodeling projects, HomeAid reaches out to meet the immediate needs of Inland Empire families and individuals experiencing homeless and the organizations that assist them. Every year we complete several HomeAid Care Days, HomeAid CareKits, and the HomeAid Essentials Drive.
HomeAid Essentials
These outreach programs coordinate with their local communities to collect and distribute donations of these much-needed items.
Diaper Drives: Diapers, formula, and wipes
Builders for Babies: A program of Essentials (Diaper Drive)
Share the Warmth: Blankets, winter coats, gloves, scarfs, hats
Seats and Feets: Socks and underwear
CareKits: Personal hygiene items, snacks, water and resource cards
Back to School Drives: Needed school supplies
HomeAid CareKits
In 2014, HomeAid began its CareKits initiative. CareKits are hygiene kits packed by volunteers and donated to local providers of homeless services. Since 2014, HomeAid has assembled and donated 7,300 CareKits in partnership with Bank of America, a national sponsor of HomeAid.
HomeAid Care Days
HomeAid Care Days are hands-on volunteer workdays during which minor repairs and upgrades are made at homeless shelters and homeless service facilities. Tasks like painting, landscaping, cleaning, and small construction projects are done at no charge based on each organization’s need. Since 2001, HomeAid has completed nearly 100 HomeAid Care Days (and counting), resulting in a savings of more than $300,000 to service providers.
