Our Mission:
Caridad strives to
humanize the homeless
by telling their stories and showing
that not everyone one on the streets
is lazy, drunk, or on drugs.
Caridad also assists homeless
rehabilitation centers by donating
socks and underwear to them.
Caridad, simply meaning "charity" in Spanish and Portugese, is born out of a passion by Caridad founder Merideth Densford, to assist homeless rehabilitation organizations by providing them with clothes.
Originally created to collect socks and underwear donations for local homeless charities, Caridad found a niche collecting lost and found items from various local businesses to deliver to local shelters.
Homelessness is problem and it is growing. All faiths and people need to come together to help solve this problem of homelessness.Homeless affects the entire community. The cost ignoring homelessness is far greater than dealing with it proactively.
Caridad partners with local homeless agencies, Police, and experts on homeless issues to educate the public. Caridad challenges you to take action. Today is the day we need you to help us do something to end homelessness.
