Homelessness in Waco - Group 3
Little people can make a change.
Helping the homeless
We will help the homeless get back on their feet because it is an issue in our community that we want to solve. This will help them get a job and eventually find, and buy a home.

What are we going to do about this issue?
Anything Is Possible is a project we would like to accomplish to help end homelessness in Waco, TX. Anything Is Possible (AIP) has its own healthcare, cafeteria, and shelter. At a low cost, the homeless can stay there until they are ready to get back on their feet. During their stay. the staff at AIP will help the homeless find a job that is near in location. AIP will partner with clothing donation businesses to give these people clothing. You can donate clothes, food, and money. IF WE HAVE HOMES SO SHOULD THEY !
