GAITHERSBURG, Md. - Dec. 19, 2023 - PRLog -- Cloudbreak Foundation has awarded a grant of $4,409 to Atheists Helping the Homeless DC (AHHDC) to distribute socks, flashlights, backpacks, and gloves (in winter).

AHHDC is a nonprofit group that operates in the greater Washington DC area. As a nonprofit charity, it depends entirely upon grants, donations, and volunteer help.

The mission of the AHHDC is to help people experiencing homelessness in Washington DC and nearby areas. They are motivated by an internal sense of morality. They want to help, encourage, receive, and learn.

Their methods are straightforward. They collect simple items that people experiencing homelessness might need, carryable materials. They collect small items for people who walk everywhere they go: nail clippers, toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant, small flashlights, soap, and socks, etc. They also provide carryable, nonperishale food. In winter, they provide gloves, jackets and sweaters, and pull-over hats.

The charity depends on volunteers who help in many ways. The volunteers are Humanists with many different beliefs, Some are Hindu, and some are adherents to other religious beliefs; some are atheist or agnostic. They are all united by the desire to help people experiencing homelessness.

The next time items will be distributed to people experiencing homelessness be in Silver Spring, Maryland on January 13, 2024. The schedule of events is posted on the AHHDC website (https://www.atheistshelping.org).
