DIY Fundraising

Interested in Helping Older Adults in the Community?
Fundraise for Hearth!

You can hold your own event and create a significant impact for older adults experiencing homelessness. Every dollar you raise brings us closer to ensuring stability and dignity for some of our community’s most vulnerable.

The options for your event are endless, so here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Have a milestone coming up? You can ask your friends and family to donate to Hearth instead of bringing a gift.
  • Are you known as THE chef among your friends? Are they constantly asking you to make another pot of chili? Sell plates to your friends and family and donate the funds to Hearth.
  • Going to yoga this evening? You can work with your local studio and see if participants would be willing to donate to your fundraiser.
  • Are you a thrifting pro and realize you have amassed too many gems in your collection? Hold a yard sale and put the proceeds towards a good cause, like helping older adults experiencing homelessness.
