In today's society, the issue of homelessness is a pressing concern that continues to affect communities worldwide.

Fundraising for homeless outreach programs is one way to drive change and provide support to individuals in need.

Tad & Kit are Chiliheads On a Mission!

At Harvest912, a non-profit organization dedicated to working with the homeless community, fundraising plays a crucial role in supporting our mission! We rely on community support in the form of financial and in-kind donations, and we also generate revenue in a VERY unique way...Harvest912's founders, Tad & Kit Jakes, are life-long chiliheads (afficionados of all things hot and spicy) and have channeled that passion into Mad Cow Products - a line of small batch, gourmet hot sauces and other spicy products. 100% of the proceeds from Mad Cow sales goes directly to our outreach services. Individual and business donations throughout the year, particularly during fundraising events such as Erie Gives, form the cornerstone of our financial support. Meanwhile, sales of Mad Cow products offer a consistent revenue stream. Combined, community contributions and Mad Cow sales supply essential resources needed to deliver footcare services and other vital support to those facing homelessness. These funds assist in covering operational expenses, obtaining supplies, and enhancing outreach efforts to assist more individuals in need.

By contributing to Harvest912 either directly or by purchasing from Mad Cow, community members can actively engage in making a positive impact, increasing awareness, and supporting the well-being of neighbors in need. This spirit of unity and collaboration is essential for creating lasting change and nurturing a sense of togetherness within the community.

To sum up, fundraising plays a crucial role in empowering communities and fostering positive change in homeless outreach efforts. By uniting, backing local non-profits such as Harvest912, and striving towards a shared objective, we can significantly impact the lives of those facing homelessness. Let's keep supporting organizations like Harvest912 in their mission to deliver vital services and assistance to the homeless community. Together, we can build a brighter future for everyone.
