For over 20 years, HOMELESS TO INDEPENDENCE, INC. has been a beacon of hope, powered by over 25 passionate volunteers. Without relying on grants, we tirelessly support the homeless, working poor, veterans, and disaster-stricken families nationwide with essentials like food, clothing, and housing info. Join us in making a difference.

Homeless To Independence Inc. is an extremely active 20-year-old, all-volunteer, non-profit. We work with the homeless, the working poor, our veterans and their families, and anyone in need due to natural or manmade disasters nationwide and our territories.
With the homeless, we:
• work daily as a need arises assisting them with information to get them into shelters, food, identification, - pointing them in the right direction.
• Pass out donated coats, hats, gloves, scarves, warm clothing especially during the cold weather months;
• Tent cities: we assist with donated tents, camping supplies for cooking, hygiene items, laundry items, blankets, pillows, socks, clothing, sleeping bags, manual can openers, trash bags to gather their trash, zip lock bags (for their important papers) and non-perishable canned foods. We especially pay attention to times when there is excessive rain and help to provide fresh blankets and such, because their items do get wet.
With the working poor, veterans, and their families, we:
• establish relationships with various realtors and private landlords, working with both sides of the fence attempting to successfully bring about a meeting of the minds, with a fair rental package for both the renter and prospective landlord;
• Pass on food and food packages as donated, sometimes perishable during the holidays;
• Pass out donated coats, hats, gloves, scarves, warm clothing especially during the cold weather months;
• Much of our outreach is with tent cities that do house a high percentage of our service veterans.
With those of natural disasters and manmade disasters we:
• Prior to a foreseen event such as an incoming tropical storm, hurricane, extreme tornado producing thunderstorms and tornado alerts, tsunami alerts, and the like, we post everything to all our social media venues in real time (all social media venues are listed below);
• work reverently with all the realtors and private landlords asking for them to agree to accept payment from disaster response teams for a period to get their housing back in order.
• Homeless To Independence Inc. does send items to disaster harmed area on a needed basis and are not limited to baby diapers, baby wipes, baby formula, cleaning up supplies, seniors need items such as diabetic socks and more.

Our Foot Amputee Project:

“Seeds of Hope Gardening Project”:
Officially named in 2020, we have been planting fruits and vegetables from seeds and pits for nearly 20 years and passing the plants onto families and individuals in need to help them not only eat healthier but also save money. These plants are raised in 3-gal and 5-gal food grade buckets and the buckets are turned in at the end of the season and reused the next season. The seeds and pits we use are harvested from the produce we raise and produce we purchase off season. Everything we use is non-GMO.
***
Homeless To Independence Inc. is dedicated to helping families and individuals with items of need such as furniture within the State of New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New York, northern Maryland, and Delaware. There is currently a closed waiting list because the need is so severe. We do not pass on broken, ripped, smelly, dirty, or buggy items – in fact we do NOT take items in those conditions.
On March 31st, 2026, our 20th Annual Multi-State Winter Outerwear Drive ended, and we served well over 30K people in 5-States with winter outerwear items. On October 1st, 2026, we will start our 21st Annual Multi-State Winter Outerwear Drive. This will run through the last day of February 2027, however, if there is still a need into March, we continue. We collaborate with various entities, such as tent cities, homeless organizations, meal services, elementary school social workers, domestic violence shelters, etc. in passing these items out.
• All clothing items collected are sorted warm weather and cold weather. All off-season clothing is packed in totes and stored for the upcoming season.
• We do have a washer and dryer used for freshening up clothing, towels, and bedding as needed.
