2024: Giving Tuesday Campaign (Nov. 27–Dec. 4, 2024)

From November 27 through December 4, 2024, the Apollo Homelessness Collaborative marked Giving Tuesday with a weeklong campaign that raised $13,500 for partner organizations serving people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. Donors could direct their gifts to specific, practical services—making it easy to connect generosity to real-world needs. Supporters of Health Care for the Homeless chose to fund items and care such as bus tickets, hygiene kits, meals, dental services, or comprehensive services for clients. Donors to People Encouraging People helped provide sleeping bags and warm clothing for outreach and daily living. Gifts to the Franciscan Center of Baltimore could be dedicated to eviction protection services, bridge shelter, or documentation support, while supporters of St. Luke’s Church on the Avenue funded vouchers for the church’s thrift shop. Together, these targeted gifts helped ensure help could be delivered quickly—and in the ways people need most.
