Homelessness is not gender specific; in fact, women and families represent the fastest growing groups of the homeless population in the United States. Approximately 34% of the homeless population are families with children. Among homeless families, 90 percent are female-headed. Most homeless families in the United States are led by a young single mother without familial support and material resources.

There are a plethora of causes that are contributing to the homeless dilemma we are facing in the greater Bay Area e.g. drugs, sex/porn, gambling addictions, mental illness, alcoholism, fixed income, etc. Inasmuch as, the high cost of rent has left multiple families out on the street cold with nowhere to go, no one to turn to with little to eat. (SOW) is here to help in any and every way possible. Therefore, we are asking for your help to be a blessing to those who happen to be less fortunate and left out by making a monetary donation of any size. The is no donation too small and no donation too large. Donations that are made to S.O.W. homeless outreach are well appreciated because it helps us to continue on our journey of feeding the homeless community effectively each week.
