Established in October 2024, the Shanti Homelessness Relief Project, an extension of the Shanti foundation, was created out of our founder Satine Queeni's perspective of inequality in the world. Whilst services available to homeless individuals include temporary housing, shelter, restrooms, showers, meals, transportation, addictions/mental health counseling, job training and case management, it is not enough and homeless individuals could still greatly use your help. Here is how you can help the homeless in your community in small yet effective ways.


Act


- Donate to an organization fighting homelessness

- Advocate & vote (ex: for low-income housing)

- Intercultural and interfaith dialogues

- Volunteer (at a food pantry or shelter)

- Start a fundraiser

- Engage in a conversation when encountered

- Have compassion & practice kindness


Donate


- Water bottles

- Clothing (socks, jackets)

- Food (cereal bars, sandwiches, crackers, peanut butter)

- Gift cards (gift certificate to fast food)

- Hygiene products (hand wipes, toothpaste/toothbrushes)

- Sleeping bags, rain ponchos, backpacks

- Childcare items (toys)




Long live the good old days.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF THIS LAND. We acknowledge the ancestors that were here before us, and pay respect to those who were colonized through forced relocation and displacement and we acknowledge the Native/Indigenous people who survive, resist and are part of our community today, despite the intentional attempts at genocide. We acknowledge that the land we now call New York City, NY where our headquarters are located, are stolen lands that are the traditional lands and village sites of the Lenape (also called the Lenni Lenape and Delaware people), and other Tribes who made their homes along the Northeastern Woodlands. Satine Queeni Inc stands with all Indigenous peoples, past and present, in promoting the wise stewardship of the lands on which we live.
