Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
~ Mother Teresa ~

Since 2008, SpreadPeace.org has asked one simple but powerful question:

“Who can you help today?”

Tens of thousands of people have answered that question in ways we never imagined. Since the release of our first video, SpreadPeace.org and our affiliated chapters have provided more than 734,000 meals to people experiencing homelessness and families living in extreme poverty.

Today, SpreadPeace.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Northern Arizona. While much of our direct outreach takes place on the streets of Kingman, Prescott, and Flagstaff, our mission extends far beyond these communities.

Every act of compassion has the power to inspire another. When people see volunteers serving their neighbors, they are often moved to step forward, take action, and ask:

,“Who can I help today?”

We support individuals, groups, businesses, and organizations that want to make a meaningful difference in their communities. Through guidance, social media resources, and practical support, we help compassionate people organize local Spread Peace volunteer events and turn their desire to help into direct action.

 We invite you to explore. Find a place to engage, and join us in beginning the end of homelessness.  With the help of supporters like you, we can raise awareness, gain more support, and bring more humanitarian relief to those in need. 

Every Year, Thousands Die on the Streets of America

Homelessness is not merely a housing crisis. It is a humanitarian crisis.

The United States does not maintain a complete national count of deaths among people experiencing homelessness. Advocacy organizations and public-health researchers estimate that between 17,000 and 40,000 people may die while experiencing homelessness each year, although the true number remains unknown because many deaths are never identified or recorded as homelessness-related.

Living without safe and stable shelter exposes people to extreme weather, violence, illness, injury, overdose, inadequate healthcare, poor nutrition, and profound social isolation. Research has found that people experiencing homelessness face a substantially greater risk of premature death than people who are housed.

Behind every statistic is a person—a veteran, a parent, a son or daughter, a friend, or a neighbor whose life matters.

This is unacceptable.

We can and should end homelessness!
