You can help us help ease someone else's burdens today.

**If you REALLY want to help the unhoused, please consider a direct donation to HAPS or another nonprofit such as United Way for Jackson, George & Greene Counties or Open Doors Homeless Coalition rather than to a person. These are all agencies that are boots on the ground and helping to fill the gaps between unhoused and having a place to call home with a better quality of life, including healthcare and supportive services.

For over 65 years, HAPS has been a place our Gulf Coast neighbors can turn when life gets hard. And behind every person we help is someone like you. 💙

Your donation can mean lifesaving medication for someone who cannot afford it. A meal for a hungry neighbor. Help navigating Social Security disability applications. A connection to family or addiction treatment—and the comfort of knowing someone cares.

Today, the needs in our communities are greater than ever. With your help, we can keep meeting our neighbors with compassion, dignity, and a hand up.

If you have given before, thank you for helping carry this mission forward. If you have never donated, we would love for you to become part of the HAPS family. Your first gift, whatever the amount, can help make the next act of kindness possible.

Please consider donating today. Together, we can offer help, encourage healing, and keep hope within reach.

Thank you for believing in HAPS, our Board of Directors and staff, and the neighbors we are honored to serve. We could not do this without you.

Help. Heal. Hope. 💙

💙 NOVEMBER IS DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH!

Diabetes doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes the warning signs are easy to overlook.

⚠️ Know the signs:

Frequent urination

Excessive thirst

Unexplained weight loss

Unusual fatigue

Blurry vision

Cuts or sores that heal slowly

Some people with diabetes have no noticeable symptoms. Screening is especially important if you have risk factors.

Early detection can make a difference! Talk with your healthcare provider about checking your blood sugar.

Need help connecting to healthcare resources? HAPS serves Jackson, George, and Greene Counties in Mississippi.
