At the heart of our mission, R.E.S.T.O.R.I.N.G. – Renewing Empowerment, Strength, Tools, Outreach, Resources, Inclusion, Nourishment & Generosity—with the H.E.A.R.T. (Human Equality And Resource Team)—is committed to uplifting individuals and families facing homelessness, financial hardship, and other challenges. 

Our Initiatives

Our work is centered on restoring dignity, fostering stability, and ensuring that underserved communities receive the vital resources they need. From hygiene essentials and household supplies to menstrual products and more, our initiatives focus on providing practical support while building meaningful connections. Every donation, big or small, contributes directly to this mission—helping us provide relief, create safe spaces and empower those in need. We invite you to explore the initiatives below to see how we bring this vision to life. If you’d like to contribute, simply click the links to purchase items that will go directly to the individuals we serve.



G.I.V.E. (Giving to Individuals with Volunteers at an Established area) Initiative is our Stationary Community Giveback where we pick a location to distribute aid to our friends in the homeless/less fortunate community. St Vincent de Paul Church


  • Our flagship event takes place each October, where we host a large-scale giveback, providing a warm meal, distributing clothing, shoes, and hygiene products, and fostering a sense of dignity and care. Beyond this annual initiative, we remain committed to year-round impact—volunteering, supplying essential items to other organizations, and continuously expanding our efforts to uplift and empower underserved communities.


H.A.R.V.E.S.T (Helping All Residents with Vital Essentials, Sustenance & Tools) Initiative is dedicated to supporting underserved communities by providing fresh produce, cooked meals and essential supplies. Its goal is to ensure that individuals in need have access to nourishment and vital resources, fostering stability and dignity for residents. Rosemont Community 


  • This initiative will take place during the spring and summer months on a monthly or bimonthly basis, strategically timed to maximize outreach and provide consistent assistance to those who need it most.


D.A.Y. (Distributing Aid to the Young) Initiative aims to make a positive impact on the lives of youth and children who are affected by homelessness or come from low-income backgrounds. By providing essential aid and resources, we strive to empower school aged individuals and create a supportive community. Kenwood High School


  • Throughout the school year, we collaborate with one to two schools, supplying menstrual closets, clothing, shoes, and hygiene products to ensure students have access to fundamental necessities. Additionally, our initiative extends beyond material aid—we actively volunteer at various school events, reinforcing our commitment to engagement and mentorship. Our goal is not only to provide vital assistance through community facilitators but to cultivate meaningful relationships with students, creating a safe and welcoming environment where they feel empowered to seek support when needed.

P.R.O.M.I.S.E (Providing Resources, Outfits & Meaningful Inspiration for Student Elegance) Initiative aims at ensuring that every student has the opportunity to attend their prom with confidence and dignity, regardless of financial circumstances. By providing free formal attire, accessories and essential resources, we strive to create lasting memories and empower students to celebrate their milestone with pride. Baltimore City/County


  • This is a year-round initiative dedicated to ensuring students have access to formal attire and essential services where we collect donations of new and gently used formal wear for both girls and boys. In addition we are looking to partner with service providers to offer complimentary makeup services, tailoring assistance, transportation support and other resources that enhance the experience. We will have small events at schools and an event hall(space). Through this initiative, we aim to foster dignity, inclusivity, and opportunity, ensuring every student can celebrate with confidence and grace.


Your generosity makes a difference, and we are truly grateful for your support. Thank you for being a part of this movement to restore hope and uplift communities!
