The associates at Clearwater Harbor Realty, Inc. in Clearwater, Florida have adopted the Homeless Emergency Project as one of their "Charities of Choice".  We recently visited and were given a tour of the entire facility.  We were very impressed.  We are convinced that any donations of cash gifts or donated items that go to the Homeless Emergency Project will be utilized to directly help the families and individuals who need help the most.  Currently there are over 1.5 million homeless U.S. children.  That is one in every 50 children.  The economic downturn, home foreclosures and job losses in recent history have contributed to a rate of homelessness that the United States has not seen since the Great Depression.  These individuals need the help of all of us.  We can all do a small part by helping the homeless in Pinellas County which has itself experienced a 131% increase  in child homelessness.   

We would like for YOU to remember the Homeless Emergency Project and the HEP THRIFT STORE when you need to get rid of household items, etc.   The store depends upon direct donations (which are tax deductible) from you.  The Store's hours of operation are Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM.   You may drop off your items at 1212 North Betty Lane in Clearwater or you may call them and they will be glad to pick up your items, phone 727-442-9041.  You may also give a donation of cash.

Please go to the Homeless Emergency Project's website to learn more about the history and the wonderful things that this organization does.  Help HEP end the cycle of homelessness, increase self-suffiency and improve health outcomes.  HEP does not believe in just "putting a band-aid on".  Their case workers along with community providers such as clinics, hospitals, educational institutions, employment, government, social services agencies and YOU will be there to help residents progress through goals and achieve the status of becoming self-sustaining.
