OUR MISSION

TO ASSIST, GUIDE, AND BRING HOPE TO THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY THROUGH ADVOCACY, EQUALITY, AND INTEGRITY.

ABOUT US

Homeless Nexus is a nonprofit organization based in Dallas, Texas. Founded by LaDonna York in March 2012, Homeless Nexus aims to provide much-needed resources, including food and daily necessities, who are caught in the cycle of homelessness in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Homeless Nexus reaches out to those in our community who don’t have a voice – those who need help but aren’t receiving it. Regardless of age, race, gender, religion or orientation, Homeless Nexus provides that help. Through donations from our supporters, we’re able to provide hygiene items, food, clothing and more to the men, women and children of Dallas’ streets.

About LaDonna

LaDonna feels a personal connection to the homeless of Dallas. As a child, she lived on the streets of Dallas and in several homeless shelters with her biological mother and twin sister. As a family on the streets, they still found time to volunteer to help others; this instilled a sense of charity in LaDonna and helped shape her future as an advocate for people who need help.

When LaDonna became an adult she volunteered regularly in the DFW homeless community, but she didn't feel like she fit in as an atheist among these mostly-Christian organizations. She searched for secular options in which to volunteer for the homeless and came up empty-handed, so she decided that she would build one herself.

The Homeless Nexus Mission

The mission of Homeless Nexus is to assist, guide, and bring hope to the homeless community through advocacy, equality, and integrity. We embrace free thought and social responsibility. The directors of Homeless Nexus believe in leading by example and encouraging all people to help those less fortunate.

Good, without strings attached,

LaDonna

3. Just a thought...

if any more members of this board want to order products from this charity, you might want to reference this OP in the "Additional Information" section of the shopping cart page. I didn't think to do it at the time, but I wish I had.

4. I did, and I did

Would love to see more groups like this spring up in the U.S. You obviously don't have to be affiliated with a church to do good works.

6. Cool!

I'm sure they'd like to know that they got some exposure and some business from DU.

7. Got my wristbands today!

They only had medium and small sizes, and medium feels a bit snug. I guess I'll give them away to smartass atheists with slender wrists.
