Our Crowdfunding Groups
Your support will help provide care for our neighbors in need — during today’s crisis and beyond.
The COVID-19 pandemic impacts all Central Texans — and community members without access to shelter or places to social distance are particularly vulnerable. Without resources for housing and hygiene, community members experiencing homelessness are at high risk for getting COVID-19. Even more troubling, people that do contract COVID-19 may not be able to get the care they need to recover.
HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE:
As COVID-19 continues, our neighbors experiencing homelessness need your support. Dell Medical School’s Dr. Tim Mercer and Dr. Audrey Kuang are teaming up with community partners to develop long-term, sustainable methods to provide care for people experiencing homelessness.
Your gift today will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100,000 through the generosity of JP’s Peace, Love & Happiness Foundation.
