Neighbors helping
neighbors help neighbors is about getting communities
involved helping their own members. Sanctity of Hope facilitates
this process in three steps:
- Sanctity of Hope sells their tokens to
the public for $1.25 (tax-deductible donation).
- SOH tokens are then given to the homeless
instead of cash.
- The homeless use the tokens at participating
SOH partners (restaurants and thrift stores) for food
and clothing.
- Sanctity of Hope purchases tokens back
from retailers and resells them.
Sanctity of Hope is organized to help those
who wish to give but do not do so because of ultimate
use concerns (the fear of their generosity being misused).
By removing the ultimate use barrier, we believe
more people will give, they will feel better for giving,
and they will give more often. This benefits both the homeless
and the community.
