Exciting milestone!

With a downside.

We talk a lot about Pursuit Packs.

Each Pursuit Pack is a “job in a box” for someone facing homelessness.

Pursuit Packs contain printed copies of Speak Up Magazine for a street entrepreneur to sell, tools for them to create recurring income, and other useful resources.

With your support, we’ve created and shipped nearly 100 packs this year.

HOW IT WORKS:

Readers like you donate to create the Pursuit Packs and cover the follow-up support costs. Once assembled, the packs are distributed freely to volunteers or given directly to people in need.

Twenty-six people have donated so far to make this happen.

Thanks to them, Speak Up has sent Pursuit Packs to folks in Michigan, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida—and have given them out directly in multiple other states.

UPDATE: We shipped out our final Pursuit Pack last week!

For the first time all year, demand has outpaced supply.

Inventory is at ZERO.

Depending on how you look at it, running out of Pursuit Packs is actually a good problem to have. It shows that this solution is meeting a real need!

Now we need you to create more Pursuit Packs.

Can you help give someone a hand up today?

Thank you for giving opportunity to those people most in need!
