The details

How Helping the Homeless works

Your group will be packing bags filled with items for men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. Teams complete a series of fun activities to earn the points they need to acquire all the items for the care packs, which may include clothes and blankets, toiletries and hygiene items, first aid supplies, food, school supplies, and toys for children.

Helping the Homeless is a powerful CSR team building experience focused on supporting individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness. Your group will assemble essential-care bags for homeless community members, filling each one with meaningful items selected specifically for the needs of unhoused men, women, and children. The program highlights an urgent reality: one in thirty children in the United States experiences homelessness each year, representing more than 2.5 million kids who lack stable housing and basic items of comfort and care. This activity serves as both a meaningful service initiative and an impactful homeless charity event, providing your team with an opportunity to directly assist those in need.

This charitable event combines teamwork, compassion, and friendly competition. Participants work together in sub-teams to earn points by completing fun challenges such as trivia, creative tasks, and light physical activities. As teams accumulate points, they gain access to the items needed to fill their care bags, which may include socks, toiletries, blankets, snacks, school supplies, hygiene essentials, and toys for children. Throughout the experience, the energy builds as teams track their progress and race toward completing high-quality care packages that will truly make a difference.

To ensure a great experience, aspects of this event may be modified to accommodate your group size, makeup, available time, and other variables.

Our historically popular iPad activities are still available upon request.

Program Agenda

The program begins with a welcome and energizing introduction that sets the tone for a meaningful and collaborative experience. Participants are then divided into sub-teams and complete a series of engaging challenges that help them earn the points needed to acquire care package items. As the momentum builds, teams redeem their points, gather supplies, and assemble care packages tailored to the needs of unhoused individuals and families. The session concludes with a heartfelt debrief, group photo opportunities, and, when possible, remarks from a charity representative who highlights the impact of your team’s contribution.

Client reviews

What clients say about Helping the Homeless

Thank you for really working quickly to put together your amazing Helping the Homeless program for all of us. We gave you a short window to work with and everyone was able to come together. I enjoyed seeing everyone interacting and having a great time for a worthy cause. The event was extremely organized and everyone had a great time. Your lead facilitator was well prepared and did a great job interacting with everyone.

Helping the Homeless / Boehringer Ingelheim / Loraine

I loved how your lead facilitator was so engaged with the team. Words could not describe how great she was. The whole program was amazing, the interaction! Our group loved the activities and charitable aspects of our Helping the Homeless program. It was a nice touch was having the charity come out and speak to the group at the end of the event.

Helping the Homeless / VMware / Anita

I started a Thanksgiving Giveback program for my office last year. The lead facilitator took charge to get everyone engaged with icebreakers that got people talking and laughing. The filling of the backpacks was the focus and I was happy to see there were quality items provided. This program was successful because of the coordinated efforts of the employees of BEST who came through with the supplies and iPads, all arrived on time. The event was so much fun and we felt good sharing with those less fortunate than us. Your lead arranged for a rep from a local San Francisco charity to accept our gifts and tell us about their mission. Working with a San Francisco charity was important to the employees. THANK YOU for going above and beyond to make our Giveback event a complete success.

Helping the Homeless, Merril Lynch, Dianne

We had been planning the launch of this program for a while, and now it seems more timely than ever. Our nation has a significant homeless population, and recent events are taxing the resources of shelters and support agencies. Our hope is that we can inspire companies and their staffs to work together better and support their communities in the process. Nationally, homelessness is rising and it’s not just children and families. Among older homeless adults, 44% became homeless for the first time AFTER age 50. America’s homeless elderly population is projected to nearly triple by 2030, according to new research. If we’re not part of the problem, we should be part of the solution.
