Homes for the Homeless :: Summer Camps

HOW CAN I HELP?
HFH Summer Camps rely on the support of donors and volunteers. No contribution is too small, a little goes a long way!

- $25 will buy a camper a mitt and softball.
- $50 will buy enough supplies for a group half-day nature hike.
- $100 will buy art supplies for five campers.
- $500 will send a camper to camp for one 16-day session.

VOLUNTEERING
If you or your organization wishes to volunteer your time, please contact Margaret Menghini by email or at (212) 529-5252.

IN-KIND GIVING
Each year, many children arrive at Camps Kiwago, Lanowa and Wakonda with nothing but the clothes on their backs: no swimsuit, no toiletries, no play clothes. New and gently used in-kind donations are always greatly appreciated. Please consult our Wish List for our current needs. If you wish to organize a drive in your community and collect essential items for our camps, please contact Margaret Menghini by email or at (212) 529-5252.
