SxSW is celebrating movies and music all over Austin! Homless young adults love music, movies and making music, too! They certainly can't afford SxSW. Give to our Homeless Music Fund so we can continue to supply musicians, music-lovers and movie-fans the tech they need to enjoy this most impactful form of self-care and self-expression just like you do! All proceeds will be used for music instruments and music tech for our young homeless client's direct use. We also happily take extra chargers, working charging cables, reset smart-devices that can be used wifi mode. Not to mention acoustic guitars in working condition! And we're a popular spot for donating leftover useful SxSW supplies!
March Madness is about to descend on many! Here is a way to make it rain "March Manna" for our clients while you support for favorite college team! It's fun to do at a game-watching gathering! Pledge a dime per point your team scores in the tournament! (That's about $7 per round your team advances!) The more winning, the more feeding Austin homeless through "March Manna"! Pledge today and ask your friends to join in! You'll pre-pay the first game, and we'll invoice you for further games. May your team go all the way! All proceeds will go in our Hunger Fund and will be used for homeless food for all ages.
We are in need of more food donations! We're seeing more hunger than in past years and getting far less food donations. Casseroles, outreach bags, camping food bags. All welcome!

News:
Amplify Austin SYMin fans raised $6,675.
This year's results are 3.4X stronger than last year! That's encouraging. The proceeds will be used to supply guidance counseling to our homeless young clients. They come to us for clothing. They discover our food and safe lounge. But the magic happens in guidance as they learn to trust and work toward their goals, healing and growing as they do!
In addition, the Amplify Fans got busy and introduced 20 new donors to us. These new donors unlocked an extra $1000 gift to our Hunger Fund. That's fanstastic news because it was very low as of Feb 28. Now it's $1222! It is used for food for homeless people of all ages as we do outreach to people of all ages and operate our drop-in center for those 28 and younger.
