⭐️North Charleston Outreach Initiative (Pilot)!!
The Red Bird Foundation is launching a targeted outreach initiative to help people experiencing homelessness and extreme hardship in the North Charleston/Rivers Avenue area. RedBirdHope.org/north-charleston-outreach-initiative/

This is a large and urgent need. Many people in this area are trying to survive on the streets and in wooded areas without stable shelter, transportation, identification, working phones, clean clothing, reliable access to food, or a clear path to services.

Without those basics, it becomes extremely difficult to work, attend appointments, apply for benefits, enter treatment, reconnect with family, or move toward housing.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Outreach Supply Sponsor
Supports hygiene kits, socks, water, cooling supplies, flashlights, and basic survival needs.

Phone Access Sponsor

Document Recovery Sponsor
Helps cover IDs, birth certificates, and replacement documents.

Work-Readiness Sponsor

Angel Delivery Sponsors

Community Partner
Helps connect Red Bird with resources, businesses, churches, donors, and service providers. RedBirdHope.org/north-charleston-outreach-initiative/

WHAT WE ARE BUILDING

Through this initiative, Red Bird will work to help vulnerable neighbors with:

Resource coordination
Helping people connect with shelters, housing options, food resources, transportation, medical care, recovery services, and other local support.

Identification and documents
Helping people work toward IDs, replacement documents, birth certificates, and other essentials needed for employment, benefits, housing, and services.

Working phone access
Collecting working smartphones, chargers, and basic phone support so people can answer job calls via phone/text apps (TextNow), communicate with caseworkers, access benefits, arrange transportation, and stay connected.

Clothing and work-readiness items
Providing clean clothing, work shoes, hygiene supplies, backpacks, and other essentials that help someone prepare for employment or appointments.

Survival and safety supplies
Collecting practical items such as tents, tarps, sleeping bags, cooling supplies, hygiene kits, socks, flashlights, and other necessities that help people stay safe and comfortable enough to rest, work, and seek help. The #1 barrier to work when experiencing homelessness is insomnia, and the drugs and alcohol used to self-medicate for it.

Pathways to shelter, housing, treatment, or recovery support
Helping people explore realistic next steps, whether that is shelter, transitional housing, recovery services, medical care, employment support, or long-term resource navigation. RedBirdHope.org/north-charleston-outreach-initiative/

⭐️We need your OLD USED PHONES!!! We are about to start a major outreach to a tent city in North Charleston. One of their biggest barrier is being able to search for and connect to local resources in real-time, including us. While we already have one liaison for this outreach, we are talking about over a hundred homeless people.

One person putting in requests for many people and acting as a middleman for resource coordination is unrealistic. So we need your old, used, but working phones. These phones will be distributed to the homeless so that they can charge and use the public Wi-Fi available to them at fast-food locations that allow it. Because libraries are few and far between, but a cellphone and a fast-food joint right around the corner is a system for success.

These phones would remove barriers to food access, job searching, online job applications, and job security. It will allow them to connect with resources to help them get housing and healthcare. It will allow us to take their requests for the support of life-saving medications, or water and electrolytes to battle this heat. It will allow them to request survival camping gear critical to their health and safety.

One old phone could change the direction of a life from rock bottom to stable and healthy living. From zero quality of life to a life of stability, security, and happiness.

So we are asking if you would consider donating your old phones.

OR speaking with your employer, if you have a lot of foot traffic, and possibly putting out a donation box for old phones for us to send a volunteer to pick up at a later date.

This is not the first tent city we will be reaching out to for this program, so even if it takes time to fill up those donation boxes, they will still go to very good use!!
