EMBRACING IS TRANSFORMATIVE.

BE A VOLUNTEER. BE A SPONSOR

Fraternity Without Borders is proud to present a heartwarming and transformative initiative, “Fraternity on the Streets” (FOTS), a project deeply rooted in the ethos of compassion and solidarity. This initiative reaches out to one of the most marginalized and often overlooked segments of our society – those experiencing homelessness in the United States.

At the core of the Fraternity on the Streets project is a profound commitment to seeing and treating every individual as a human being, deserving of respect, care, and dignity. Homelessness is not just a matter of lacking shelter; it’s about facing harsh judgments and societal indifference. This project aims to bridge that gap, bringing warmth, sustenance, and a ray of hope to those who need it most.

Our dedicated volunteers, the backbone of FOTS, work tirelessly to gather and distribute essential items like food, clothes, shoes, blankets, towels, and hygiene products. These items, often taken for granted, can make a significant difference in the lives of those living on the streets. These distributions are not one-off events but are carried out periodically throughout the year, ensuring sustained support and assistance.

Fraternity on the Streets has established four vibrant chapters, each a beacon of hope in their respective communities. Our first chapter, situated in the heart of Las Vegas, NV, extends its support to those facing the stark contrast between the city’s renowned glamour and the harsh realities of street life. The second chapter, in the bustling metropolis of New York, NY, offers a helping hand amidst the city’s fast-paced and often impersonal environment. The third chapter, in Denver, CO, provides aid and comfort in a city where the splendor of nature stands in sharp contrast to the difficulties faced by its homeless population. Finally, our fourth chapter, based in Seattle, WA, stands as a pillar of support in a city known for its natural beauty, yet not immune to the challenges of homelessness.

As you navigate through this project, you’ll find inspiring stories, testimonials, and detailed insights into how each chapter is making a tangible difference. We invite you to join us in this noble endeavor. Your support, whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, is invaluable. Together, we can continue to extend a hand of fraternity to those in need, transcending barriers, and building a world where empathy and solidarity reign supreme.

SPONSORING IS CARING.

Your contribution, no matter the size, helps us sustain and expand our efforts. Every dollar donated goes directly towards providing essential items and services to our homeless friends. We also encourage you to learn more about each chapter and see how you can get involved locally.

In the spirit of fraternity, let us unite to uplift those who are struggling. Let’s transform empathy into action, and in doing so, enrich our own lives. Join us in this journey of compassion – together, we can make a difference, one life at a time.
