The Doe Fund - May to Aug 09'

Different factors can influence a persons life in a negative way.  Vices, Abuse, Mental illness, the death of family members or a sequence of unfortunate events can beat a person down to the point they feel they have no where to turn, so they become another homeless person wandering the streets of a city or town.  A strong and positive influence is the best way to reverse these terrible misfortunes and life altering events.  The Doe Fund reaches out and reacts in a pro active way to help those who need their help.

The Doe Fund's mission is to develop and implement cost-effective, holistic programs that meet the needs of a diverse population working to break the cycles of homelessness, addiction, and criminal recidivism. All of The Doe Fund's programs and innovative business ventures ultimately strive to help homeless and formerly incarcerated individuals achieve permanent self-sufficiency.  As a Better Buiness Accredited charity, the Doe Fund is a great resource to help the homeless.
