SoJo Foundation Chicken Run Helping the homeless

Services

The SoJo Foundation, founded in 2017 and nestled in the heart of San Jose, has emerged as a beacon of hope and sustenance for the homeless population in the region. Through its innovative and compassionate approach, this organization has significantly impacted the lives of those struggling with food insecurity. One key aspect of the SoJo Foundation’s effectiveness lies in its commitment to community engagement and collaboration. By partnering with local businesses, farms, and volunteers, SoJo maximizes its resources and expands its reach, ensuring that nutritious meals are provided to as many individuals in need as possible.

“Nearly everyone thanked us, appreciated our effort, especially when they had fresh warm food in their hands. It made me smile to see some people put the shirt on immediately, one more layer against the chill and windy weather.”

Moreover, the SoJo Foundation goes beyond simply offering meals; it prioritizes dignity and empowerment. Recognizing that homelessness is often intertwined with various other challenges, such as mental health issues and unemployment, SoJo incorporates holistic support services into its initiatives. Through job training programs, counseling services, and access to resources, the foundation equips individuals with the tools they need to rebuild their lives and break free from the cycle of poverty.

Furthermore, the SoJo Foundation operates with transparency and accountability, ensuring that every donation and volunteer effort directly benefits those it serves. Through regular updates, impact reports, and financial disclosures, the organization fosters trust and confidence among its supporters, encouraging continued involvement and investment in its mission. By upholding these principles of integrity and stewardship, the SoJo Foundation not only feeds the homeless but also inspires a community-wide commitment to addressing the root causes of hunger and homelessness, paving the way for lasting change and social justice.

Going Forward

During these last eight years, I’m filled with gratitude for everyone who has supported the SoJo Foundation. What began as an idea from an eight-year-old has grown into a movement that brings warmth and hope to so many.

There’s still so much to do. I hope to expand our efforts, help more people, and inspire others to take action in their communities.
